This one-skein aran cowl starts with a moebius cast on and finishes with a knit on Shetland “Doris” pattern edging. And it is all much simpler than it sounds.

This is fun knit that incorporates some interesting techniques.

The Moebius Cast-on
You can find a video of the Moebius cast-on by Cat Bordhi here and blog tutorials by me here and here.
I recommend practising the moebius cast on and a few rounds of knitting to get the feel of the technique before embarking on a pattern for the first time.
