End-of-Year Best Sellers🥂Our Most Loved Knit & Crochet Patterns of the Year

Cream crewneck raglan sweater with ribbed cuffs and hem - Ash Sweater easy knit pattern by Darling Jadore

This year felt like such a special one here at Darling Jadore, and that’s entirely because of you. Watching the patterns you gravitated toward, the projects you shared, and the pieces you chose to spend your time knitting made it feel like a really connected, creative year. Seeing how these designs became part of your days, whether tucked into a bag or worn out and about, meant more than I can really say.

One thing I loved noticing was how much you enjoyed a mix of small, quick-knit scarves and longer sweater projects. It felt so fitting—those little scarves you could finish in a few sittings alongside sweaters you could slowly settle into over weeks. Sometimes you want something comforting and fast, and other times you want a project that grows with you. Seeing you enjoy both reminded me why I love designing that balance in the first place. Thank you for knitting along, for choosing these patterns, and for making this year feel warm, thoughtful, and shared.​
