Sizes
Adjustable
Yarn
I designed this shawl so you can use any weight yarn. For the sample I used
1 skein KT and the Squid Twist Squid Sock in colorway Urban Reflection (360 yrds)
2 KT and the Squid Squidlets (minis) in the colorways Molly and Poe

Tunisian Hook
Choose a hook with a cord quite a bit larger than you would normally use. For my sock weight I used a K/6.5mm
Notes
This shawl started with just a few stitches. more stitches are added at the beginning of each row making an asymmetrical triangle.
Each row consists of a return pass.
For the sample I used the entire skein of Urban Reflection then changed colors to the first mini until that ran out and finished with the second mini. You can get creative and play with the striping more if you’d like.
