The shawl takes its name from the often considered as ‘living fossils’ family of the Nautiloidea. The use of short-row shaping and a shallow depth make this shawl a very versatile accessory that offers many options of styling for the wearer.

For my sample I used The little Grey Sheep (www.thelittlegreysheep.co.uk) yarns’s. A combination of beautiful Gotland and Hampshire yarns that drape well, are super soft and give you the perfect hug. The choice of yarn is completely yours; just make sure you match your yarn with the appropriate needle size. The shawl should be soft and drape well.
