What could be better when there is a nip in the air than to grab a shawl, thrown it over your shoulders & feel the warmth almost instantly.  Better yet, when your warmed up, you simply swing it back off your shoulders.  Or, you can throw on your legs to keep the chill off your legs.  No matter how you use it, it is sure to give your just enough warmth to give you greater comfort.
 
I used an Aran Fleck acrylic yarn.  I added a scalloped edge to this particular shawl.  It is a medium weight & also I would consider this a medium sized shawl.
 
This shawl measures 46" from back of neck down toward lower back & has a wingspan of 98".
