I wanted to create a cabled version of my new favorite winter accessory, the cowl. Unfortunately traditional cables are not reversible and have an unsightly wrong side, which is a problem for a piece like this since both sides are often visible. However, with the brilliant invention of reversible cables, that is no longer a problem!

Reversible cables are deceptively simple, using ribbing to create a fabric that looks the same on both sides. This particular stitch pattern is just a simple braid that has been modified to be reversible. The cowl is knit in a long strip, with a moebius-esque twist added before joining.

Squishy and reversible, the Moebius Braid Cowl is the perfect accessory to snuggle up into on a cold winter day. It can be worn as a long loop or doubled up around the neck for added warmth!
