A simple and quick one skein shawl that is crocheted from side to side, increasing until you reach the centre then decreasing. It is written in UK terms with the relevant US terms in the abbreviations section. The optional border down the two shorter edges can be worked in a contrasting colour.

The cowries that can be found in the UK are small, cream coloured shells with ridges which in Scotland get known as groatie buckies. A rare treat to find on the beach! The cluster stitches that dot over this scarf reminded me of these, as well as their larger tropical cousins!
