Halo (for short) was inspired by light; The halo around a full moon, the glow of twinkle lights, or the bright lights of a city at night. The halo effect is created by combining a skein of planned pooling yarn along with two complementing colorways. My version was knit with yarn dyed by HauteKnitYarn. Glowing garter and eyelet sections accent the lace that symbolizes rings of light.

Lunar Halos inparticular sometimes precede a storm so if you see one grab your Halo of Light shawl and bundle up!
