The Design

“A simple twist on single crochet.”

The stitch is easy, the construction clever—this project is so much fun! The Crocheted Moebius Cowl is worked from the center band outward and each round adds stitches to both bottom edges of the cowl. So working one round is really like working two! This is thanks to the addition of a simple half twist that creates the miraculous, fascinating, one-edged moebius shape.

The Crocheted Moebius Cowl is as light as a whisper knit in Rowan Kidsilk Haze—a go-to favorite. It’s delicate and fine with a lovely halo and subtle fuzz. Strong but sheer, weightless but warm—perfect for this pretty loop!

KNITTER'S NOTES
Your initial chain is very important. Take the time to work it evenly, so that when you single crochet into both sides, you have a relaxed and even-looking strip. This becomes the center of your cowl, and will be visible however you style the finished piece.
