It depends on how big you want it, and what texture and warmth you want it to give. You can choose to knit normal, purl, or any other knitting stitch that would work suitably. It also depends on what shape you want it square, rectangle, or shaped. If you just wanted to knit a square or rectangular, it would be fairly simple. If you would like a fluffy shawl, then Eyelash would be suitable (it is a specialty wool that makes your knitting fluffy). If you would like the knitting dense, then knit with smaller needles (probably between 2 3/4 mm up to 3 1/4 mm). If you want it less dense, then use bigger needles and knit loose.
Another way to do this would to be to knit lots of squares and put them together, using the same wool or different if you want to make it colorful. Cast on the amount of stitches you are happy with and then knit until you are happy with the length, then cast off. If you want to make it colorful, then count the rows. If you want the color changes to be the same size then always match the row number. In normal knitting you can see the merge of colors Some people dislike this, so try to keep it on the same side to keep your knitting looking more professional, you can insure this by changing color only when you are on the side you don't want the merge to appear on.

How many stitches do you need to cast on to make a shawl?
That depends on many factors, the shape of shawl you are trying to make, your gauge and the type of yarn you are using. For a rectangular shawl, or stole, decide whether you want to knit the length or width. Personally, I knit the width of the stole and continue until it's long enough, but the direction of the stitches changes the look of the shawl. Determine how wide you want your stole to be, say 24 inches. Cast on 10 stitches and knit a few rows. Measure how wide your swatch is, say 6 inches, and do a little math. (Finished width / width of swatch) so (24 inches / 6 inches = 4 times the width) So, you multiply your stitches used, 10, by the number of times larger you need your piece, 4, and you cast on 40 stitches. It works the same if you want to work the length of the stole. If you are not needing a specific size, you can cast on about what looks right. For a triangular shawl, it can be easier to start, but you have to keep track of your rows. 1. Cast on three stitches. 2. Knit all. Place a stitch marker on the now empty needle. You can leave it on the needle without ever passing it back. You can also use two different colored needles or put a little waste yarn into the last stitch in this row. You are simply trying to keep track of which row you re on. 3. Knit the first stitch and cast on a stitch, the method doesn't really matter. Knit the next stitch and cast on a stitch, knit the last stitch. 4. Knit all 5 stitches. 5. Knit the first stitch, increase, knit the next three, increase, knit the last. 6. Knit all 7 stitches. 7. Knit the first, increase, knit to the second to last stitch, increase, knit the last. 8. Knit back. Repeat rows 7 and 8. By increasing one stitch in, rather than in the last stitch, you have a smoother edge to the shawl. Just keep alternating an increase row with a knit even row until the shawl is as wide as you'd like. If you find your shawl is getting too wide for the length, increase less, if it's not wide enough, increase more often. An alternative to 2 increases on every other row would be to increase one on every row. I'd still increase near the edge, just decide if you want to increase at the beginning of the row, or the end. You will need 45 casted on stitches.
