Notes:
Shawl is knit tip to tip, if using a different yarn, weigh your ball before starting, work increase section until you have a little over half the ball left, then start decrease section; this will effect the stitch count for the border edge.

If the number of sts picked up for the border is different then the number indicated in pattern, follow these set up row instructions:

sl1 wyif, kfb, k to 2 less then half the sts picked up, kfb, k1, pm, kfb, k to 2 sts remaining, kfb, k1

ERRATA (June 11, 2024): added a Row 11 to the Set Up section
