Inspired by the Rusty Socks, this design takes the colourwork patterns of the socks and develops them into a cowl. Knit in the round to form a tube with a provisional cast on, it is grafted together at the end to form a seamless loop with a möbius twist. If a provisional cast on and grafting aren’t your thing… just cast on and cast off as normal and sew the ends together. There are instructions for with and without the möbius loop.

The pattern has written instruction and charts for the colourwork.

A second set of needles are needed for Kitchener Stitch at end.
