This unusual and playful shawl looks just like its counterpart: the horseshoe crab! It begins with a textured hexagon in the round and moves to a contrasting tail (worked flat) to add more wrap. The pattern can be completed with or without the tail, so it can be worn in a number of ways. Mix yarns for color and texture, play with weights for a unique look, and style it however you feel!
