Smoke Rings - Smoke Ring Patterns

Knitting patterns for light and lacy smoke rings

lace knitting patterns for Smoke RingA smoke ring makes a versatile accessory that can be worn pulled down around the neck to lay on the shoulders as a dressy draped neckline, or pulled up over the head as an elegant hood-like head covering. A smoke ring is also sometimes referred to as a natchaq.

The "ring" part of the name refers to the smoke ring's tubular construction. Most often, the smoke is knitted circularly to make a seamless tube. Lace stitch patterns are often used in knitting smoke rings, giving this form of cowl/wimple a dressy, upscale look. And "smoke" refers to the light-as-air fibers with superb warmth for their weight that are often used in making smoke rings, such as qiviut and cashmere.

For even more head and neck coverings, be sure to also visit the Knitted Moebius and Knitted Dickeys Collections.
