Syringa is a triangular shawl worked from the bottom up using the filet crochet technique. It has no obvious right or wrong side and can be made to any size.

Syringa shawl was originally published in Crochet Now magazine, Issue 8.This pattern has been tweaked a little, updated, and now uses U.S. crochet terminology.

An option to turn it into a rectangular-shaped accessory (a scarf or a stole) is also provided (pages 4-5).
