Moebius Scarf

Cynthia found a pattern for a moebius strip scarf in Cat Bordhi’s book, and finished it tonight while we watched Witch Hunter Robin.

There’s a special cast-on (knitters have buzzwords too) you use to start the pattern, you don’t ‘cheat’ by knitting a rectangle and grafting the ends together with a half twist, so the resulting scarf really does have one edge, and no seams.

Updated: added photo of Cyn’s second moebius scarf in progress.
