Lora by Alison Green

Craft: Knitting

Lora creatively combines Gianna’s slow color fades with a unique multidirectional construction for a fun and engaging project. Panels on the front and back beautifully showcase the transitioning colors, and they’re neatly framed with slipped-stitch details that add extra interest to your knitting and to the finished pullover.
