The Curio Shawl combines elements of nature in an unnatural form. Essentially a skull with insect wings, a long tail and tendrils.

I rarely see patterns for things that I’d personally like to wear, so I’ve started designing my own.

The pattern is downloadable as a PDF.

It can be made with or without the hood and the size of the completed shawl can vary depending on the type of yarn used.

I made this up with inexpensive DK yarn in mind as that’s what I’ve got easiest access to.
