Difficulty Level: Easy (knit stitches, yarn overs, and simple increases)
Recommended Yarn: For this shawl, we suggest ONline Supersocke Silk Color, which consists of 55% wool, 25% nylon, and 20% silk (400m/100g; 437yds/3.53oz). You'll need just 1 to 2 balls, depending on your desired size. The sample shawl, measuring 140 x 48cm (56 x 19 1/4in), used exactly one ball.
