This is not a beginners shawl, the difficulty level is intermediate/ medium hard.
You’ll need 2 Scheepjes Whirls for this shawl. The more contrast the better the result. Feel free to reach out to me, if you’d like help picking colors for this one.

Yarn: I used 2 Whirls - 200 grams (900 meters or 985 yards ) of color A and 220 grams (990 meters or 1083 yards) of color B. Please note that Whirls are between 215 and 225 grams, so weigh your yarns before you begin to make sure you won’t run out and watch your gauge.

I picked the colorways turquoise turntable (color A) and Black Forest Zinger (color B) … and because I preferred not to finish off with the light grey of Black Forrest Zinger, I chose to shift to the Whirlette Grappa, which happened to fit the second last color shift in Black Forest Zinger.
Gauge: 22 hdc x 15 rows = 10x10 cm
I recommend you watch your gauge to make sure you won’t run out of yarn prematurely!
Hook: I used a 3mm hook ( D) but use the hook size you usually do when working with Scheepjes Whirl
