This cowl uses the center-out möbius shape to advantage in several ways.

• long-print yarns will automatically produce symmetrical stripes
• crests and troughs in the lace pattern align
• the shape is flattering to wear
• you can knit until you run out of yarn — perfect for stash-busting!

This is also a reversible lace project.

Skills needed:

• Cat Bordhi’s möbius cast-on
• 1×1 ribbing
• double yarn-over
• reversible decreases

This is a one-skein “ad finitum” pattern, meaning you can work until the cowl is the height you like or until the yarn runs out.

Video tutorials are available on the designer’s blog and on the designer’s YouTube channel.

Available in 2 file formats!
Which file should you use?

Booklet file is half-sheet formatted to print as a center-staple booklet if you:
print 2 pages to a side
print on both sides of each leaf
print on margin-less 8.5 x 11 inch paper
(If you’ve taken a class with the designer after June 2012, this is the same format as her class handouts.)
The center will be a piece of paper that has pages 4 & 5 face up, and pages 6 & 3 face down.
The middle piece of paper will have page 2 & 7 face up, and page 8 & 1 face down.
Cover (possibly heavier paper) on bottom.

E-book file is half-sheet formatted but with all the pages in normal order and the blank inside covers deleted.
If you have a smaller tablet or you read off your smart phone, you shouldn’t have to zoom as much. You can also print this size if you print on 5.5 x 8 inch paper — i.e. half-sheet.
