Spring 2021 Elizabeth Smith Collection

/////

Pulling inspiration from a modern earth-tone palette, this Spring collection from Elizabeth Smith uses clean, simple lines and floral eyelet details to create light, transitional layers that are as easy to knit as they are to wear. Top-down or bottom-up, garment or accessory, Elizabeth’s thoughtfully crafted collection for Manos del Uruguay is sure to have something that will please!

This seamless pullover showcases the beautiful drape and texture of the Milo yarn and creates a silhouette that has both structure and drape. Simple stockinette stitch is framed with a lace motif at the hem and cuffs, with just a little added lace detail at the neck. The drop-shoulder construction is paired with short-row-shaped shoulders, a simple and elegant neckline, and 3/4-length sleeves.
