The Fletching Sweater is named due to the detailing along the bottom hem reminding me of arrow fletchings. I had actually designed this pattern to have vine detailing, but they turned out more angular and reminded me more of fletchings! It has a fold over turtle-neck and is worked top down raglan style. The sleeves and bottom edge have a 1x1 ribbed hem, and the bottom hem features a colour worked design. The sweater is designed to fall to a mid-long crop level. The pattern will have options for adding extra length if desired. This is a #sizeinclusive pattern

may need other size needles to meet gauge
Gauge: 12 sts x 14 rows = 4 x 4 inches
Yarn required: two colours of any bulky weight yarn that you can get gauge with (I used Knitpicks Biggo in Dove Heather for Colour A, and Autumn Heather for Colour B, 110 yds per 100 g ball)
Yardage required:
Colour A: 350 (410, 470, 500) {550, 600, 680} (735, 790, 825) {870, 925, 985}

yardage is an approximation at this point, and is calculated using the mid crop length and no additional bust darts. allow for extra yardage if planning to add length
