I'm confused. You give the eyelet pattern - 4 rows. Presumably you start this on the 181 stitches picked up on the band. But your instruction do not say this and do not say for how long. Can you please clarify. Thanks Angela

It actually says to repeat the 4 rows until you have just 8 stitches left on the very last line of the pattern and instructions of what to do with the last 8 stitches.

I love the look of this shawl and I would really like to make it, but I was just wondering which part I should start with. The band or the eyelet pattern?

You must start with the band, you cannot proceed in the pattern without the band, because that is where you are picking up the stitches from.

What a pretty shawl! I like the option of having ties or not having ties. I don't enjoy having to pick up stitches, but I think I could accomplish the same thing by just casting off stitches on each end to reduce the number of stitches rather than casting off and then picking up stitches. Any thoughts on whether that would work as well?

That couldn't possibly work with the design of this shawl, this pattern only works because you are making the band first, there is no way with a cast on of 5 stitches you could do it the way you are thinking. the pattern working out is dependent on the band being done first.
