Smoke Rings - Smoke Ring Patterns

Knitting patterns for light and lacy smoke rings

A 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.
