Pattern Note
The shawl begins with a garter stitch tab; stitches are picked up along the left side and cast-on edges of this tab to create stitches for the shawl. When the shawl is complete, stitches are cast on for the border, and the border is attached to the shawl on wrong-side rows by knitting 1 border stitch together with 1 shawl stitch.
