    a Scottish Hap is a shawl?

    I'm not sure. This one is a square folded in half to form a triangle to use as a shawl. I hope that helps.

    Apparently, hap is "a covering of any kind" (see below). Perhaps a Scottish crocheter will tell us if that usage is more common over there!
    Definition: hap (hæp)
    vb (tr)
    to cover up; wrap up warmly
    n
    a covering of any kind
    [C14: perhaps of Norse origin]

    Thank you, calamityjane. So the Scottish Hap could be a shawl and any shawl could be a hap.
