This shawl is inspired by those crunchy little seed pods that are so prevalent in my neighborhood. As a kid, I loved jumping, kicking and collecting them when I went on early evening walks with my mom. A mom now myself, I am well aware of how important the relationship between a little girl, a stick and some seed pods are.

A triangular shawl that provides eye catching texture options. The shawl features seed stitch, classic ribbing, purl ridges, and bobbles. The classic shape is a staple of every hand knit wardrobe.
