Nancy's Notion website has a Creative Kindness thread that has free instructions for a fleece shoulder cover that is super simple, quick and turns out really cute. My mom is always cold (88 years old) and had a big blanket folded around her shoulders all the time so I made her one last winter...she's about worn it out and says the fleece is really light weight, doesn't fall off her shoulders and is nice and cozy warm.
