This oversize moebius cowl (and its shoulderette version) was inspired by a Japanese souvenir – thus the name Nejiri, which means twist. It is knitted flat as a rectangle, and the long edges are joined to form a tube. The tube is twisted once and seamed, producing a moebius strip. After knitting the cowl, there is enough yarn left to make a matching headband (instructions included).
