When I started getting into sock knitting, I very quickly became obsessed with knitting the slip stitch heel flap! The slip one knit one repeat is very engaging and it makes the squishiest pattern that I just adore the finished look of!
I really wanted to create this pattern so I could have this engaging pattern for a bit longer than just the repeats required on the heel of a sock! The cowl is the perfect fall/winter accessory and is so squishy and soft around your neck!
If you love knitting the slip stitch heel flap as much as I do, I hope you will give this cowl a go! Please share your finished Slip Stitch Heel Cowl by using the hashtags #SlipStitchHeelCowl and #BreakingYarn on Instagram or Facebook!
Models are shown wearing Lily of the Valley, Breaking Princess, and Walter White!
