Ring of Velvet Sapphire
Who doesn’t need a big, scrooshy seed stitch infinity cowl? I certainly, suddenly, do. This one is cast on using the brilliant moebius CO as demonstrated by the incomparable Cat Bordhi in her moebius CO tutorial video. It allows you to knit in the round, from the cast-on middle of the ring to the long outer edge, following the infinity moebius shape. And as there’s not much more to it than that, the instructions are free on my blog.
As of November 2013, I’ve also uploaded a pdf version to Ravelry - Knit On!
Techniques & Skills Used: moebius CO, knit/purl, working in the round; this pattern includes written instructions, and a link to the moebius cast on tutorial.
Size: 9” height and 60” circumference, customizable.
Yarn: Loops & Threads Cozy Wool (50% Acrylic, 50% Wool; 90 yards/127g); shown in Velvet; 3 skeins or 270 yards of superbulky yarn. The sample used all of the yardage, but size can be easily customized.
Other Materials: US 13 (9mm) 60” circular needle, or size to match gauge; Stitch marker (1); Yarn needle or size K/6.5mm crochet hook for weaving ends.
Gauge: 7 stitches and 16 rows/4” in seed stitch, after gentle blocking.Gauge is not critical for this project, however a different gauge may result in a smaller or larger finished loop, and different yardage requirements.
