Crochet pattern Möbius Collar 1-2-3-4




(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Give someone joy with such a chic collar; it wonderfully jazzes up sweaters and shirts. 


It is crocheted from approx. 60 g of a merino yarn with 50 g – 160 m yardage and hook size 3 – 4 (here with a 3.5 mm crochet hook) and can be finished quickly in an 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 skills are sufficient (chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, slip stitch). Links with tips for learning to crochet are included.

Homemade gifts are so much nicer and more personal! 

• This crochet pattern is for baby shoes in sizes 17 and 19.
• The pattern uses cotton yarn with a yardage of 125 m per 50 g.
• Crochet hook size 2.5. 
• The pattern includes detailed photos and is suitable for advanced crocheters or ambitious beginners with basic crochet skills.
