The trapezoid-type half hexagon (Half Hexagon 1 in the book) turns out to be perfect for the shoulder piece. (Just fyi, the other half hexagon, #2, is five-sided.)
I was so pleased that my first attempt to find a good shape for this was just right. So, next I'll crochet a second half hexagon, and then decide if I want to sew everything together with a contrasting color or not.
