Rows 1 & 2 done as pattern reads, then switched to only increasing on the RS rows. I like the look and stability of the twisted strands versus the single strands. Also increasing by 2 on the last row (81/WS row) to achieve the necessary stitch count of 173 before beginning lace pattern.

Did 7 repeats of lace pattern to get larger size. Basically took the repeats and made the edges match up. Then did 10 rows of stockinette before doing final edging rows.

Pre Blocking: 42in from tip to tip across neck, 16in from neck to bottom point.

After Blocking: 55.5in from tip to tip across neck, 22in from neck to bottom point.
