If you would like to make the shawl less wide then subtract 8 sts from your cast on for ~3” less on width. Same with making your shawl wider, add 8sts to your cast on adding ~3” to the width. The reason for the 8sts is because of the fish scale stitch pattern. (Refer to gauge). This will also subtract or add 2” from the front length
If you would like to add length then continue in rows 1-8 or 9-16 each adding 2” to the length in the back.
