Ambae wrap

Ambae will figure out the light of the fire. Indeed, fire is everywhere on the Pacific islands, its smoke floating imperceptibly in the air. Fires appear at nightfall, when dry wood is burnt to cook the evening meal, to weave mats, chat and cuddle babies. Fires burn along the hills when peasants open new gardens in the forest. Fire is sometimes glowing above volcano, as it was recently the case in Ambae, after which this wrap has been named.

This long red scarf is worked in a simple texture that recalls fire sparks. Two lacy edging figuring flame patterns are completing the piece. Left and right sides are worked separately and joined at the neck with Kitchener stitches.
