Shawls give us comfort. They are like a deep hug that can be carried with us through our day, easing our stress from the workplace and wrapping us with warmth when we walk through our front door. The Westover Shawl is a textured triangular shawl . In this design, the traditional meets chic with the combination of classic texture and shape paired with a flicker of fun in the contrasting bobble dotted edging.
