“This is a triangular shawl, which is very easy to knit once you get the hang of the pattern. You will need a pair of 10mm
needles and 6 x 50g balls of double knitting weight yarn,
either something soft like a cashmere and merino mix or
cotton works well too. For a heavier shawl tweed mixes
work well too, but make sure you get a soft tweed mix or
your shawl won’t drape very well. Buy a couple of extra balls
if you know you are likely to want a longer shawl than
average. The shawl measures approximately 30 inches from top to bottom, longer if you knit loosely.” -McKnits
