If you would like your Shawl to be longer/larger, you should easily be able to work more of the sections you like, with minor adjustments.
Finishing Border
Picot: Ch. 3, SlSt into Rear loop of 1st Ch made.
Turn 90* & Sc, Ch. 1, Sc into same space. Sc around evenly for border. Placing Sc, Picot, Sc into each point/corner, and Dec in each “inner” corner/step between sections-where 2 sts were left unworked.
From here you can choose to leave your shawl as is, or you can block it for a very nice finish like I did.
