Horn of the Moon is a great introductory project to broomstick crochet. The shape of the shawl resembles a stylized half moon, which makes it easy to keep on the shoulders. Drape it over the shoulders as a shawl or snuggle around the neck like a scarf! It’s a perfect one-skein project.

With simple, clear instructions and stunning results, this project will steal your breath away! Add beads to the edge of the shawl on the last row to give it extra swing and drape, or omit the edging to give the shawl a more modern look.
