The „Shelby“ Cowl is a reversible cowl with a catchy colourwork pattern worked in a tube from bottom to top.

Its name is inspired by the TV series “Peaky Blinders” which I watched while knitting the test versions of this cowl and which revolves around the Shelby family.

The pattern is a step-by-step guide on 6 pages with text instructions and a chart for the colourwork part. It includes links to video tutorials for some techniques (in German with English subtitle).

The pattern has been reviewed by test knitters.
