This pattern introduces the
basic principle and three cast-on techniques for knitting Möbius scarves/loops
. Give them a try and choose your favorite method :-)
The
PDF pattern is fully illustrated and includes 2 patterns
(see image gallery).
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 in various ways as a shoulder warmer or neck warmer (see image). For this, we only need
1 skein of Woolly Hugs Bandy
, here color no. 7, 100 g – 210 m, 100% cotton; gauge according to the label: 14 sts x 20 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm;
size 6.0 circular needles with a cable length of 1 m
; stitch markers; measuring tape, scissors, and a wool needle for weaving in ends. If needed, leftover yarn of a slightly thinner, color-coordinated yarn (e.g., Record 210 – potholder yarn, shown here in green) and a size 4.5 crochet hook.
Model II – Möbius collar in milk white
fits snugly 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 skein of merino yarn
, 50 g – 85 m, e.g., Merino 85 by Austermann or Schachenmayr, 100% merino, according to the label for needle sizes 6–7 and a gauge of 16 sts x 22 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm. For this project, use
size 6.0 circular needles with a cable length of 80 cm to 100 cm
; stitch markers; a measuring tape; scissors; and a wool needle for weaving in ends.
Both models feature a simple reversible rib pattern.
