I have been longing for meditative knits recently, knit, purl, knit, purl, knit…Whether you know this as seed or moss, its texture is as delightful to stroke as a bed of the lush green moss you find in shaded forests. In nature, the seed of a moss is called a Spore.

Spores is a shawl with a bit of texture and a bit of lace, it has extra increases on the borders giving it more of a heart-shape. The pattern is charted, adaptable in size and includes a striped version.
