You’ll need:

Using the darkest yarn, cast on 60 stitches with the 6mm needle. Knit in stocking stitch 8 rows.
Occasionally change colours while alternating between 10mm and 15mm needles between rows to create an uneven knit look. Keep knitting until it reaches a length you desire the shawl to be.
Bind off work. Repeat from beginning for the other side.
Stitch two together with black yarn.

Tips and caring advices:
- If you’re an experienced knitter, it’d be best if you could do a tension swatch for the yarn before casting on.
- For beginners check out this youtube channel for great tutorials. Great place to start learning actually.
- Alternate between colours but also thickness of yarns. I just stuck to mohair but you could always bring in different types of yarns like acrylic or other wool blends to create texture.
- Hand wash only, dry flat.
