(To

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 detailed with pictures and contains 2 patterns (see image).
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 beautifully in different ways as a shoulder warmer and neck warmer (see image). For this we need, for example, just 1 skein 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 somewhat thinner, color-coordinating yarn (e.g. Record 210 – potholder yarn, here in green) and crochet hook 4.5.
Model II – Möbius Collar in Milky White fits wonderfully around the neck like a
turtleneck, but can also be worn as a
headband. This model makes a wonderful gift and is 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 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 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:cast 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 included.
