A Moebius has no beginning or end. You knit the magical scarf in the round, as long and as wide as you want. The shape was invented by August Möbius, a German astronomer and mathematician. Hence the name Möbius or Moebius.

You choose from three variations:

  1. a long, knitted, double Moebius with a knitted garland motif
  2. a medium length, crocheted Moebius with stripes in soft alpaca (free pattern)
  3. a medium length, crocheted Moebius with stripes in alpaca and sheep wool (free pattern)

This Moebius consists of two parts cross each other. You knit continuously on the right and yet a stockinette is formed with a right and purl side. Pure magic! Is part 1 ready? Then you put the stitches on a long auxiliary cable and knit part 2. To do this, pick up the stitches at the bottom of the first part. Is part 2 also ready? Then cast off the stitches of both parts together with 3 needles. All loose threads and the long threads of the jacquard disappear into the sandwich. Still so handy!

The Moebius scarves are part of the EVETTE bundle, together with a sweater. In turn, EVETTE is part of MICCA, a collection that pays tribute to the many victims of the witch persecution. In Europe alone, more than 100,000 alleged witches were burned at the stake. Evette was one of the victims. Together with five other women, she was strangled and burned on a hill in Ellezelles, a small village in Hainaut, Belgium, on October 26, 1610.
