Spring Make-It-Now 2021

Our Spring ‘21 Make It Now collection features stitch textures -- mesh, cables, seed, eyelets, and knit-purl combinations in embossed relief -- in light fabrics and soft colors that highlight March’s transitional weather.

As March is also Women’s History Month, the pattern names nod to women who’ve won the Nobel Prize: Grazia Deledda (Literature, 1926), Emmanuelle Charpentier (Chemistry, 2020), Shirin Ebadi (Peace, 2003), Gertrude Elion (Medicine, 1988), Ada Yonath (Chemistry, 2009), and Alice Munro (Literature, 2013).

/////

Yonath has cables at the edges and between mesh panels to give the cowl structure as well as visual interest. Linen-blend Milo keeps the fabric’s stitch patterns crisp and the fabric light.
