As clothing styles changed, the shape and length of paisley shawls adapted. During Jane Austen's time, a long stole-like shawl was most common, worn across the back and draped around each elbow. As hem circumferences widened, the shawl moved to a more square shape, often worn folded into a triangle around the shoulders and trailing down the back. Common among all paisley shawls, though, was the repeating motif of \u003cem\u003ebotehs \u003c\/em\u003eacross the bottom edges.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 56\" long and 18 ¼\" wide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nDream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere (70% wool, 20% cashmere, 10% nylon; 400 yd [366 m]\/114 g): bronzed lake, 3 skeins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n#2 - Fine \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\nSize 6 (4 mm).
