Notes

I only did 6 repeats because I thought it was getting too tall. I wish I only did 5 repeats and the wider cowl, but I didn’t have a longer circular at the time.

It was really simple to follow, and the Tart tosh dk against the squishy natural is lovely! So lovely that my boyfriend claimed it for himself. In blocking I pulled it too tightly vertically and it distorted the evenness of the arrow heights, but he says it makes them look more like real arrowheads. Problem solved :)
