Slip Away Cowl

Glorious colorwork knitting, easy-peasy! Slip stitch/mosaic knitting with two colors makes your knitting look complicated, but you’re only working with one color in each row. The pattern uses worsted weight yarn in two colors.

This Slip Away Cowl introduces you to five slip stitch patterns, knit flat. You can choose to use any or all of these stitch patterns to make this cowl uniquely yours. Notes are included for using these same stitch patterns in the round.

2023: I've updated this pattern to use a knit-in i-cord edge. The older version is still available to you, so you may use either the garter stitch edge (Dotty first) pattern, or the i-cord edge in the updated pattern. The newer pattern includes a sixth stitch pattern, Zig Zag Lightning, as a bonus.

Gauge is not critical, but will make your cowl wider or narrower.

A version of this pattern was also released for The Knitting Circle’s Holiday Virtual Event in December 2021, as the Slip Stitch Sampler Cowl.

Thanks to tech editors Jen Lucas (for the Knitting Circle) and Meaghan Schmaltz.
