shawl shaping v. 2 slow increase
This is one of the shapes I typically use for shawls. Basically, you have four sections, each divided by a single stitch. This gives a shawl that has a curved shoulders while providing a straight back giving a gentle crescent shape. For a more gently curve, increase the first and last sections every other right side row and the middle sections every forth right side row.
