P.S. One of the pictures listed shows my favorite way to fold the shawls of the different shapes.
When I published my designs in magazines and needed to post multiple samples every month, I was trying to figure out the best way to fold those samples - sweaters, blankets, and shawls - to achieve a regular rectangular shape with minimal folding. This method makes use of the "rule of thirds" and will work for any shawl unless they are very narrow and long (and those can be folded in half at step 2). In any case, the idea is to turn an irregular shape into a regular rectangle using the minimum number of operations. ◍•ᴗ•◍
