This beautiflu shawl was made using a silk/cashmere blend. You could use any 2ply yarn that has 800m to 100g.

The pattern is such that you could stop knitting atafter any of the pattern repeats, or continue, so you can have the size of your choice.

The cast of is a simple crochet cast off which I often prefer to do with a larger crochet hook than the needle used to knit the shawl.
