Moss Field Throw
A unique throw inspired by Iceland’s mossy lava fields.
Throw is knit in 3 strips. The background of changing stripes is composed of one strand each of Plotulopi and Love Story held together, and a single strand of Plotulopi is picked up and dropped as needed to work the simple charted motifs.
Seams are joined with mattress stitch.
