Given that my pen name is Silverarcheress, I think it’s only right that I do a design that is purely around arrows! This is a very simple pattern that can be scaled up and down for whatever project you desire with arrows flying from left and right in a continuous stream. It gives a fun visual effect and tricks your eyes into not being able to follow the arrows easily.

The design is in the form of a graph, therefore you can convert this to use as any graphed stitch you like. I have also written out the pattern in full for use. The design is in tapestry crochet back loop double crochet (UK terms) aka back loop single crochet (US terms), working from right to left and cutting the yarn at the end of each row. This gives a clearly defined pattern. I know some people will prefer using double crochet (UK terms) aka single crochet (US terms) working backwards and
forwards, just be aware that the written pattern assumes you are starting each row without turning your work!
