Wisps of Smoke Ring

HeartStrings knitting pattern #H44

Wisps of Smoke combines the heavy drape of silk, the lightness and fluidity of lace, and the sparkle of beads. The stitch patterning imparts the feeling of softly wafting smoke in a light breeze intermingled with fleeting touches of flames.

The style of this smoke ring features a wide scallop-edged yoke that decreases gradually into a tube. This makes a versatile accessory that can be worn as a draped neckline, or with the tube pulled over the head as an elegant hood-type head covering.
