Oblong piece of cloth used to cover head and shoulders (5)

I believe the answer is:

shawl

(Other definitions for shawl that I've seen before include "Covering for head and shoulders" , "Baby wrapper" , "Wrap for a baby" , "Fabric wrap" , "Wrapped clothes item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
