Crochet Möbius Collar 1-2-3-4

(For
purchase/download, please click the image)
This collar scarf
wonderfully jazzes up sweaters and shirts, and can even replace a necklace.
It is crocheted from
approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with a yardage of 50 g – 160 m and hook size 3 – 4 (here with
crochet hook 3.5) and can be finished quickly in one afternoon. Beginners should allow themselves a little more crochet time.
Other yarns with a suitable hook size can also be used. In my opinion, however, the pattern shows up better in finer yarns.
The Möbius technique in crochet is considerably easier than in knitting.
For the
illustrated PDF pattern,
basic crochet knowledge is sufficient (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Link tips for learning to crochet are included.
