Every wardrobe needs a classic scarf. This one exudes elegance and style, with a crisp textural pattern running along the length of the scarf. The result is slimming and comfortable to wear.

The Elizabeth Scarf is fully reversible and features extra Garter Stitch detailing at both ends. The pattern includes stitch charts and full line-by-line instructions for both a long, slim scarf in a double knitting merino wool or a shorter, winter-weight version in a soft, chunky yarn.
