Fletching is a right triangle shawl that uses a simple to follow slipped stitch pattern to give enhanced texture and the look of colorwork while using only one color at a time. It has a built-in i-cord border and a generous size that allows you to wrap yourself in luxurious wool.

Contrasting variegated yarns really sing in this pattern, but contrasting tonals work beautifully too. Contrast is key!
