Cute over full skirts and high waisted jeans, Adira is a deliciously light-weight top, featuring a gorgeously feminine peek-a-boo neckline and a cropped length that can be easily adjusted to flatter your shape.

She’s perfect for warm summer days and special evenings out and looks equally fabulous dressed-up for a glamorous party, or worn low-key for a casual coffee with friends.

Knitted seamlessly from the top down, using pure silk fingering-weight yarn, Adira is a luxurious addition to your wardrobe.

Swap silk for linen to create a chic vibe, or knit her in soft merino for a playful look.

Adira clearly written & full of simple stitches so she’s the ideal project for new garment knitters, as well as experienced knitters who enjoy a smooth knit & a polished finish
