Wonderful of you to want to make a shawl for your friend. My husband is on dialysis so I asked the little quilt group I belong to help make quilts for the patients at his unit The patients sit in large leather chairs like you find in a dental or optometrist office for about 4 hrs at a time. Their blood is removed, cleansed and then returned. In the summer they are in air conditioning. ALL of these factors make them very cold all over, not just shoulders. Most of us used the popular 3 yard patterns to make small lap quilts, just the right size for the chairs. The patients get to keep the quilts and use them there and at home. Please be sure to use bright, fun fabrics. My husband got one with a kid' print o giraffes. It gets lots of smiles!

Here's an interesting pattern from ASG in Atlanta. https://asgatlanta.org/wp-content/up...g-Project-.pdf
