Construction
Worked in garter stitch, on the bias, the shawl/scarf is cast on at the fletched end of the arrow and worked towards the tip. Fully reversible with colour blocks separated by lines of eyelet and meet in the centre using intarsia. This is an excellent beginner’s intarsia project.

Substitution Notes
Choose a fingering weight (or sock yarn) ombré or gradient yarn in two colourways. It would also look great with two solid/tonal yarns or a solid colour paired with a gradient yarn. The yarn specified in the pattern is a single ply merino, but multi-plied yarns and a full range fibres would also be great. They key for this project is the colour choice.
