The shawl is easy to crochet because the pattern repeats continuously. This means it can also be made larger. Using the 4-ply / 800m Bobbel, it measured 160 x 70 cm, and using the 3-ply / 1000m Bobbel, it measured 185 x 80 cm. Both were crocheted with a size 3 hook. The pattern is explained in writing and in a crochet chart. There is a step-by-step photo tutorial for the witch’s broom. If you like, it can be made with the finishing border. The shawl was test-crocheted. Materials:

• 4-ply Bobbel, 200g / 800lm, by Wooly Hugs, color 07 (green-yellow) or

Yarn requirements: 250g total, with a yardage of 100m per 50g. Crochet hook size 4.

3 Techniques - Knitted Möbius Scarf, Cowl, Headband




(For purchase/download, please click the image)

Here, the basic principle and three cast-on techniques for knitting Möbius scarves/loops are presented. Try them out and choose your favorite method :-)


The PDF pattern is richly illustrated and contains 2 patterns:

Model 1 – Colorful - is a Möbius loop/scarf with a circumference of approx. 90 cm and a height of approx. 20 cm, which can be worn wonderfully in different variations as a shoulder warmer and neck warmer (see picture gallery).

For this we only need 1 ball of Woolly Hugs Bandy, here color no. 7, 100 g – 210 m, 100% cotton, gauge according to the ball band: 14 sts x 20 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm; circular knitting needle size 6.0 with a cable length of 1 m; stitch marker; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends. If needed, leftover yarn of a slightly thinner, color-coordinated yarn (e.g., Record 210 – potholder yarn, here in green) and crochet hook size 4.5.


Model II – Möbius Cowl in Milk White nestles wonderfully around the neck like a turtleneck, but can also be worn as a headband. This model makes a wonderful gift and can be knitted in just a few hours.

For this we only need 1 ball of merino yarn, 50 g – 85 m, e.g., Merino 85 by Austermann or Schachenmayr, 100% merino, according to the ball band for needle size 6–7 and a gauge of 16 sts x 22 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm.
Used here: circular knitting needle size 6.0, cable length 80 cm to 100 cm; stitch marker; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends.


Both models are worked in a simple reversible rib pattern.

These knitting skills are required:
casting on stitches, knit and purl stitches, knitting in the round, knit stitches together, purl stitches together, yarn over, bind off.
A basic knitting course is not included, but link tips are provided.

By the way: there is an Excel table for calculating a Möbius scarf (click me); this formula-based table is a tool for calculating your desired measurements for a knitted or crocheted Möbius scarf and the corresponding number of cast-on stitches according to your personal gauge.
For this, the Excel spreadsheet program or another spreadsheet program that can be downloaded free of charge from the internet, such as LibreOffice, is required.

Crochet Pattern: Poncho with Möbius Scarf Collar (Loop) – Easy

Winter is definitely coming!


(Click the image to purchase/download )

Quick and easy to crochet...

With this crochet method, you can decide how big you want the poncho to be as you go—just stop crocheting when you’re happy with it.

The poncho and Möbius scarf are made with thick gradient yarn (100 g – 100 m) and a size 8.0 crochet hook, but can be crocheted with any yarn of your choice .

The PDF pattern includes instructions for both the poncho and the Möbius scarf and is illustrated , but it is not a crochet course in itself.

You’ll need the following crochet skills :
chain stitches, single crochet, slip stitches, crocheting in rows, and crocheting in rounds.

By the way: with a Möbius scarf, the pattern you create is mirrored—that is, one horizontal half appears as the right outer side, while the other half appears as the left inner side of the pattern. This creates sophisticated effects depending on how the scarf is draped and how the pattern falls.
And the Möbius technique is very simple when crocheting.
