Pattern Description:

Synchrony is a crescent shaped shawl knit in one piece from the center-top outward. It is shaped by all the increasing done on the edging. With both charts and written instructions, knitters are able to choose the most comfortable way to follow the pattern.

Pattern is sized for a small and a large shawl. Modifications have been written for more or less yardage though. The sections are easy to mix and match for different yardages.

24 sts/36 rows = 4 inches in stockinette on US size 5 needles

Exact gauge is not important but do note that a looser gauge will result in the use of more yardage
