The shawl is worked sideways. Start from the tip, work in halfbrioche stitch with increases as shown in the pattern. When the desired width is achieved, start working the decrease section (the rhythm of decreases as per pattern).
I recommend natural fibers, fingering weight.
Of course, it is possible to use any yarn you like but the gauge and the final size would differ.
