A little Asia-inspired shaping carries over into a sweetly feminine accessory to subtly dress up your every day looks--or commemorate a special occasion. If you play with gauge and length, you can easily transform the pattern into a headband or necklace. As for me, I'm going to wear it as a wedding garter when the big day rolls around. Ready, lovelies?
