Here is my progress so far, about 5 inches long.

To make a larger shawl than in the pattern, I cast on enough stitches to do 6 repeats of the 12 stitch section. I wanted a seed stitch border instead of a garter stitch border.
This is what I ended up with:
3 stitches at each side edge = 6
6 repeats of 12 = 72
7 & 8 stitch sections at ends = 15
———————————-
Total stitches cast on 93
I did 6 rows of seed stitch for the bottom edge. Then I did the 3 stitches in seed stitch, the pattern according to the graph, then 3 stitches in seed stitch.. that’s it!
Using size 6 needles my shawl is about 24 inches wide without stretching, just the size I was going for. After washing and blocking (drying flat, no pinning needed), it may be a bit wider and the stitches will lay flatter.
