Smokeberry is an infinity scarf that features a beautiful mix of twisted stitches, cables, and lace. A provisional cast-on is used, then the scarf is worked lengthwise, and a 3 needle bind-off joins the ends.

Pattern is written and charted, and a video tutorial demonstrates special stitches.

The night the bird had come from Winterfell, Eddard Stark had taken the girls to the castle godswood, an acre of elm and alder and black cottonwood overlooking the river. The heart tree there was a great oak, its ancient limbs overgrown with smokeberry vines; they knelt before it to offer their thanksgiving, as if it had been a weirwood. Sansa drifted to sleep as the moon rose, Arya several hours later, curling up in the grass under Ned’s cloak. All through the dark hours he kept his vigil alone. When dawn broke over the city, the dark red blooms of dragon’s breath surrounded the girls where they lay. “I dreamed of Bran,” Sansa had whispered to him. “I saw him smiling.” - A Game of Thrones, George R.R. Martin
