Notes

I am so happy to take part in the test of Natasjas latest design.

Jora is colourwork, texture, and a simple construction, that still includes details to give you a perfect fit!
The possibilities when choosing colours (and overall expression) are endless.
Check out my fellow testers for their brilliant choices heart

Design:
The yoke is shaped using several sets of short rows, which also shape the colourworked bubbles. A cute bubblegum stitch adds interest to the body, while sleeves are knitted in stockinette.

Yarn:
The Merino and Silk mohair from KFO are a match made in heaven. Soft and airy and with a wide range of colours to choose from.
I knitted from stash, and used a silk mohair from Garnudsalg for the MC. A little fluffier than the one from KFO.

Mods:
I botched up the bubblegum stitch and accidentally knitted a cute acorn stitch in stead… At least I was consistent…
I omitted the increases to shape the sleeves and went for straight sleeves, with the stated number of decreases on sleeves to give me a moderately slim sleeve. This just suits my personal preferences better.

All in all a very enjoyable knit with a perfect outcome!
