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

This 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!
