Elizabeth’s Wool-Angora
Diagonal Scarf
DESIGNED BY ELIZABETH PRUSIEWICZ, photo on page 41

T his scarf has everything going for it. The merino-and-angora blend
is soft to the touch and very warm. The pattern puts the self-forming
stripes on the diagonal, and the angora sheds a softening haze over the
whole design. Lovely!
