I did 8 repeats with worsted weight yarn on us 9 needles. My finished piece after blocking measures about 70x30 inches. If I were to do this again I would add in one or two more repeat for a total of 9-10 repeats because I wish it were just a tad bit bigger. I did a tiny picot bind off and I love the way it looks on this shawl. I cast on 2 bind off 7 for the picot. I love this shawl recipe the different textures are lovely. I will be making it again. :)
