From garter tab (14 st), you gain 24 st over each eyelet pattern repeat. So, after eyelet repeat 1, you have 38st.

After eyelet repeat 2: 62 st
After eyelet repeat 3: 86 st
After eyelet repeat 4: 110 st
After eyelet repeat 5: 134 st
After eyelet repeat 6: 158 st
After eyelet repeat 7: 182 st

I have 37g as of Eyelet Pattern on pg 5 (starts on Row 37, 230 st.

Prior to the final Fish Eye section, I have 24g. Save 4g for cast off (as others have indicated that more than 3 is required)

After 4 rows (2 repeats) of the final Fish Eye section, I have 20g so it appears that each row takes 1g.

So I’ll be able to do 8 more repeats (or 16 rounds) before binding off.

I didn’t count stitches before BO - and I can’t exactly figure out how many repeats there are by looking, but I did either 9 or 10 2-row repeats on the last section.

I am blocking it aggressively and it is currently pinned with blocking wires to the recommended dimensions (used super wash yarn which loves to stretch).

Final Thoughts: I have to be in the mood for lace or I find it quite tedious. In this instance, the project was very rhythmic and quite straight-forward. I knit it, without too much effort, in under a week. Great stash buster for one skein of sock yarn. Great gift that looks beautiful and luxe but that isn’t difficult.

The pattern and design are both excellent.

I will say that the final fish eye repeat (straight border of the shawl) was hard on the hands. It was only 25% of the shawl, but it took what feels like half the total knitting time. Mind you, if it blocks out beautifully, I’ll forget that pretty quickly!
