    Marsh Shrimp maybe? Should be too hard but isn't gonna larger than maybe a 7-90 count shrimp size.



    All I would need to do is use peach and light pink colors or a cream color instead of the darker colors to imitate it.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Was supposed to be "grass" shrimp.

    Those do look cool though! I see why you go through the trouble.

    Shouldn't be too hard making a grass shrimp either. If I used mono filament to tie it the whole thing would be clear without any dark colors in it. A clear pink bead with the right colors larva lace should do it just fine.

    Maybe the shrimp color and the pink shrimp crocheted together in the larva lace would make a nice glass shrimp pattern. Either a regular sizes spaghetti bead or a small one depending on how big you want it.

    This is the sand shrimp I tied it after:

    I will see what I have in the light colors if anything. I have some I will tie one and see what I can come up with.
