Notes
This pattern uses seed (or moss) stitch which is a simple textured pattern that’s very easy to create. The stitch pattern lies flat and looks the same on both sides, which is great for a scarf. One of the simplest ways to make a scarf or shawl is to use a simple texture stitch pattern that doesn’t curl.
