Why let the yoke have all the fun? In the Barrage of Arrows pullover, the interest doesn’t end when the colourwork is finished. The body is made up of a twisted stitch pattern to match the yoke and keep the arrows going to the hem. This adds some lovely texture to the sweater without drawing attention away from the yoke.
