We are Darling Jadore, a team of creatives selling original, modern, digital instantly-downloadable knitting patterns and crochet patterns, video tutorials, and more. The Creative Director is Sierra, and Darling Jadore also consists of various test-knitters, pattern editors, technical assistants, and videographers who all help make us a success. We're located in Colorado, USA.

Our Creative Director, Sierra, is responsible for designing and writing every knitting pattern and crochet pattern. Most of her designs begin as drawn sketches, which eventually turn into charts, schematics, and written text for the final product: a digital, instantly-downloadable knitting or crochet pattern file. Sierra has more than two decades worth of experience knitting and crocheting, has received training in sewing and embroidery, and also worked as a high fashion model in New York City, where her interest in fashion design deepened. As an independent knitwear designer, Sierra sells all of her patterns under her own label, as well as offers licensing rights for her patterns to some companies worldwide. As a licensed attorney, Sierra made a career change to follow her passion in knitwear design full-time in 2018.

All Darling Jadore knitting patterns and crochet patterns are instantly-downloadable digital Portable Document Format ("PDF") files that are emailed immediately after payment is processed to the email address provided at checkout. All Darling Jadore knit and crochet pattern links to corresponding PDF file never expire, meaning you can download the pattern at any time, and it will always be available to you. Unlike some designers, Darling Jadore customers have no time limit or cutoff for download their pattern; you can order a pattern and download it at any time and it will always be available to you.  Additionally, all Darling Jadore digital patterns are "live", meaning that they are constantly being updated. Therefore, if any knit or crochet pattern you've ordered is updated (e.g., instructions changed, tutorial photos added, etc), you are sent an email notification and all you need to do is simply re-download your PDF file for the updated version.

We take a modern approach to knitting patterns and crochet patterns. All of our knitting patterns and crochet patterns are premium digital files, and they are aesthetically designed to look highly modern and we made sure they are exceptionally user-friendly, containing all the necessary elements of a knit or crochet pattern plus more. For example, inside each Darling Jadore digital knitting pattern and crochet pattern, we provide a "Stitch Glossary". This is a glossary containing all the abbreviations and techniques required of the pattern. These abbreviations are also linkable and when you click on one, you will be automatically redirected to video tutorials and photo tutorials on how to work this stitch or technique. Our stitch glossaries also contain written-out text explaining how to work a certain stitch for quick reference. We at Darling Jadore are passionate about providing the highest quality digital knit and crochet patterns and videos for our customers, and to us, that means always updating versions of our patterns to make them the highest possible quality. All of our patterns have been tested, and we continually update and re-test all of our patterns annually. We provide highly-detailed written text instructions within each Darling Jadore pattern, along with helpful "tips" and "notes" throughout, for extra assistance. Additionally, we pride ourselves on designing unique, modern items that can be made with affordable, easy-to-source yarn. All Darling Jadore patterns are ad-free and printer-friendly. We offer patterns for the complete beginner to advanced fiber artists. We also have a team of technology specialists on standby Monday through Friday (and most weekends) to assist our customers with any tech-related questions or issues they might be experiencing (e.g., downloading or accessing their patterns) and can be reached via email at tech@darlingjadore.com.

Darling Jadore digital knitting patterns and crochet patterns include highly-detailed written instructions, a schematic with precise measurements, links to numerous video and photo tutorials for reference, links to all the exact materials used in the photographed design, numerous tips, and more. We also include all the basic elements of a knit and crochet pattern such as gauge, sizing information, yarn weight/category/WPI, information on adapting the pattern, abbreviations used, information on how to read our patterns and more. We go above and beyond what is required and/or the typical industry standard. We do our absolute best to ensure that the entire experience -- from shopping to checkout to download to knitting or crocheting -- is as enjoyable for our customers as possible. 

A WORD ABOUT INTEGRITY

We also believe that our integrity as a knitwear and crochetwear design business sets us apart from other designers. Darling Jadore never accepts free products in exchange for reviews or for a social media post. The Darling Jadore team feels that this conduct inherently elicits bias and dilutes the integrity and transparency we believe in and constantly strive toward as a business. Therefore, if you ever see specific yarn, tools, or other materials appear on a Darling Jadore social media account or in the Darling Jadore Amazon shop, it was never sent to us for free; rather, it is a product we truly love and use. Likewise, we have never and would never send a person, business, or company one of our knitting patterns, crochet patterns, or merchandise items for free in exchange for a review, feature, social media post, or blog post. We do not partner with other people or businesses on social media for "giveaways". We will occasionally, however, host our own private giveaway on social media exclusively with Darling Jadore patterns or products.

We occasionally will work with companies and people that we truly believe in and who share a similar vision as us. Sometimes we accept sponsorships from brands for blog posts, but again, we only endorse brands and products that we truly believe in and whose products we use and love, and generally purchase ourselves. The Darling Jadore Amazon Shop is filled with only tools, yarn, and materials that Sierra personally owns and truly believes in and uses regularly. As stated in our Disclosure and Privacy Policy section, Darling Jadore is a participant in affiliate marketing, and earns a small commission for products bought using our affiliate links, at no extra expense to the buyer, but we only promote and link to products we love, use, and believe in. 

Darling Jadore is also a proud supporter of various non-profit, charitable organizations and donate a proceed of certain patterns to such organizations. For example, half of all proceeds from The Classic Teddy crochet pattern goes directly to the ASPCA, a leader in animal rescue and protection. Darling Jadore is an official Business Ambassador for the ASPCA and we are thrilled for this partnership and the opportunity to support such a wonderful organization. Likewise, we donate a portion of our proceeds from our eco-friendly knitting patterns and crochet patterns to The Nature Conservancy, one of the most effective and wide-reaching environmental organizations in the world.

Creating an account with Darling Jadore makes it easier for you to store all of your digital knitting pattern and crochet pattern files and purchasing information in one place, and provides faster checkout. Therefore, you never need to sift through your emails to find your original Darling Jadore confirmation email with the pattern PDF file link; all your files are easily accessible in your account. In other words: more time for knitting or crocheting!

We design digital knitting patterns and crochet patterns for the novice all the way to advanced knitter and crocheters. Each individual listing will describe the method of construction for the design as well as indicate the skill level. All of our knit and crochet patterns include highly-detailed written instructions, stitch glossaries, links to numerous video and photo tutorials, and more to ensure your experience knitting or crocheting a Darling Jadore pattern is as enjoyable and fuss-free as possible!

The Premium Pattern Package option available for many of our digital knitting patterns and crochet patterns gives you access to a series of highly detailed video tutorials to guide you through knitting or crocheting the particular pattern you've purchased. As with all of our knit and crochet patterns, the premium packages are also being continually updated, with new videos being added when necessary. All of our Premium Pattern Packages come with 5+ videos to guide you through knitting or crocheting parts of the pattern that are most often the trickiest for knitters or crocheters. Some of the designs we offer are best suited for intermediate to advanced knitters, (e.g., top-down raglan sweaters), so we created the Premium Pattern Packages to help guide you through some of the complex techniques involved to make your knitting or crochet experience the easiest and most fun as possible. These videos also offer tips and tricks for knitting or crocheting future patterns with ease, and allow you to master new techniques and walk away confident knowing you will finish the pattern without any frustration. When you purchase a Premium Pattern Package, the information on where to access these videos (which are password protected) is emailed immediately after payment is processed. Just like with all Darling Jadore knit and crochet patterns, the link to download the premium packages and access the videos never expires. All videos provided in the Darling Jadore Premium Pattern Packages are ad-free and commercial free.

If you've purchased one of our digital knitting patterns or crochet patterns on any of our platforms and would like to upgrade to the Premium Pattern Package, send an email to the Darling Jadore Technical Support Team at tech@darlingjadore.com and they will assist you with the refund and upgrade process.

Darling Jadore never accepts free products in exchange for reviews or for a social media post. The Darling Jadore team feels that this conduct inherently elicits bias and dilutes the integrity and transparency we believe in and constantly strive toward as a brand. Therefore, if you ever see specific yarn, tools, or other materials appear on a Darling Jadore social media account or in the Darling Jadore Amazon shop, it was never sent to us for free; rather, it is a product we truly love and use.

You can read our official refund policy here. Given that our digital knitting patterns and crochet patterns are immediately emailed to the customer after payment is processed, we do not offer refunds; however, if you wish to upgrade to the Premium Pattern Package option, we always immediately issue a full refund on the original knit or crochet pattern you ordered, regardless of the Darling Jadore platform you purchased it on. Simply email the Darling Jadore Technical Support Team at tech@darlingjadore.com and they will assist you with the refund and upgrade process. We do not accept refunds on any of our merchandise.

There is a detailed "Supplies" section within each Darling Jadore knitting pattern and crochet pattern file. In this section, we provide both the general materials required (i.e., the yarn weight and category, the hook and/or knitting needle sizing, etc) as well as the specific materials required (i.e., the exact brand of yarn and color used to create the photographed item, etc). The links within the "Supplies" section for each pattern are linkable, and will redirect you to the exact yarn and materials, for convenience. 

Darling Jadore knitting patterns and crochet patterns are designed with yarn that is easy to source, very affordable, and available at most chain craft stores, such as Hobby Lobby, Michael's Craft Stpres, Walmart, and JoAnn. We pride ourselves on designing unique, modern items that can be made with affordable, easy-to-source yarn. 

Inside each Darling Jadore digital knitting pattern and crochet pattern, we provide a "Stitch Glossary". This is a glossary containing all the abbreviations within the pattern. These abbreviations are also linkable and when you click on them, you will be redirected to video tutorials and photo tutorials on how to work this stitch or technique. Our stitch glossaries also contain written-out text explaining how to work a certain stitch for quick reference. The Stitch Glossary within each Darling Jadore knit or crochet pattern is catered to that particular pattern; therefore, you will only have abbreviations and links for the actual techniques and stitches required by that pattern. We think the addition of the Stitch Glossary within each Darling Jadore 

For example, if "Kfb" shows up in your knitting pattern, then within the Stitch Glossary it will say: "Kfb: Knit front back; meaning, to knit into the front and into the back of the same stitch, which is an increase stitch". Then if you click on "Kfb" (which is a clickable link), you'll be redirected to a video tutorial and photo tutorial and further text and explanations for this technique. 

We work mostly by selling our original knitting patterns and crochet patterns on various platforms, such as this website, Ravelry, LoveKnitting, and Etsy. We also occasionally partner with brands and companies that we believe in and we will either design a knitting pattern or crochet patterns for them or sell licensing rights to one of our existing digital patterns. Sierra is also a contract knitwear designer with a few companies, some internationally and some in the United States, offering non-exclusive licensing rights to some of her knitting patterns and crochet patterns. However, we only work with companies and people that we truly believe in and who share a similar vision as us. Sometimes we are sponsored by brands for blog posts, but again, we only endorse brands and products that we truly believe in. If you are interested in working with us, you can contact us through our Contact Page or via email at design@darlingjadore.com.

We also offer all the industry-standard information within each Darling Jadore knit or crochet pattern file, such as gauge information and measurements, a schematic with precise measurements and details,  oftentimes photo tutorials for reference, "notes" and "tips" throughout the pattern, sizing information, oftentimes information on adapting the design to make it larger/smaller, and information on blocking and care for the finished item once you have completed knitting or crocheting it.
