Merry, the all around best shawl I've made is a semi-circular one, just a simple pattern based on the shaping in Martha Waterman's Book Traditional Knitted Lace. Mine is alpaca, which isn't slippery like, say, cotton, would be, and the shape just seems to stay nicely on my shoulders. It's also shorter than a faroese style, though I'm sure you could alter the length of those, too.
Hands down, the best *wearing shawl* I've made!
