You can knit most any ply wool with this needle size -- the difference being the amount of empty space between stitches that you will create using a light-weight yarn, as against the tightness of result you create using a heavier weight yarn.

How do you knit a child's shawl?

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.
