McKinney Falls is a bandana style cowl knit in an interesting slip and dip stitch pattern. The stitch pattern is fun and easy to do! You slip sts with the yarn in front, creating floats, afterwards you dip the needle under the floats and knit a stitch. The floats sit behind the stitch you just made creating a lovely pattern.

The cowl begins at the tip and is worked back and forth in rows increasing every right-side row. After all increases are made, the piece is joined to work in the round, creating a seamless cowl.
