The Downbeat by Elizabeth Smith
Berroco Ultra Alpaca, color 62195 Hops
Ideal for a first sweater or everyday favorite, The Downbeat by Elizabeth Smith is a wearable beauty that is perfect for layering.
Always relaxing & approachable, Elizabeth’s designs are simple to follow & a pleasure to knit. The sweater features top-down, seamless raglan construction with short rows to shape the neckline. Two options are provided for different lengths (cropped & standard), as well as body shaping (none or A-line).
The design is knit in Berroco Ultra Alpaca; a soft, yet structured blend of super fine alpaca & Peruvian wool. The worsted weight yarn is cozy & has a lovely hand with a gentle halo.
