A lovely lace mobius for your hand spun, this graceful neck warmer echoes the best parts of rainy spring weather, the flowers!

Two lace patterns grow from the center of the mobius out to the cabled i-cord edge, with one half appearing in stockinette and the other in reverse stockinette automatically. It’s magic!

The first lace has the graceful sweep of leaves, the second has two options: the organically staggered look of snapdragons, or a more geometric stack of bubbles, your choice.

Best done in solid or semi-solid colors, but appropriate for any fiber, this pattern uses as little as 2 oz of fiber spun to ~20 WPI final yarn, so you can use that fiber splurge most impressively. The model uses tencel for a soft, light and shiny neck warmer, but make it out of alpaca for extra warmth, cashmere or silk for incredible luxury. I designed this pattern to be entirely flexible, so it adapts itself to your yarn rather than asking you to spin to a pattern.

Yardage requirements are widely variable as well. With less yarn knit a shorter neckwarmer to tuck into your spring jacket. With more yarn continue knitting to make a cowl which can pull up over your ears, or even the top of your head. Use up every bit of that precious handspun!

Lace directions are charted.

Edited 12/13/11 - Thank you to everyone who purchased this pattern during the donation period! I added some of my personal charitable giving money to your contributions and sent $400 to PIH total since the option to flag this pattern for Haitian relief was opened. I hope this makes you smile, it certainly impressed me!
