The Smoky Mountain Morning Mist Scarf was inspired by the mornings in the Tennessee valley when a soft blanket of mist filters the stark leafless trees. The tops of the mountains are still visible above the trees and mist.

Knits up quickly and is a great take-along project to work on while watching the kids at soccer or baseball. Or when you are waiting at the doctors office or when traveling.

This scarf can be worn so many different ways. Double it when the cold wind blows or wear it loose around your shoulders for a light layer. The first photo shows the scarf folded in half and held in place with a shawl pin.
