My Fletching Worsted
Bands of simple colorwork wrap around the yoke of My Fletching Worsted. The repeats are easily memorized, and the floats are short, which makes My Fletching Worsted perfect for a new colorwork knitter. It is also a wonderfully relaxing knit for a more experienced colorwork knitter. My Fletching Worsted is knit seamlessly top-down in the round beginning with a seamless folded collar. Short rows are worked under the colorwork to lift the back neck for an excellent fit.
