The shawl can be worn as a scarf, shawl, or wrapped bunches and bunches of times for a close squishy neck piece. Sport weight is the recommended weight from the original prototype. A fingering weight natural fiber that will block well will make a nice sized shawl, as well.

Light blocking is recommended as the lace will need to be opened a bit, but not too aggressively as to squash the garter ridges.
