It’s their world and we’re all just living in it. Hammerhead, Nurse, Cookie Cutter, Blue, Thrasher, Great White—what’s your favorite shark? (Mine is the Goblin, obviously.) Share your love for these majestic, non vicious-man-eating creatures and preach the sharky gospel: Leave Sharkney Alone

This cowl is knit entirely flat and seamed once finished, and uses intarsia to create the shark and teeth images. Pattern includes both graphs and written instructions for the colorwork.
