This is a warm and fuzzy möbius cowl that is worked in a basketweave stitch. Basketweave looks woven, and you can alter it so that it looks like it has been woven with larger or smaller warps and wefts. The basketweave stitch looks fancy but it’s really easy once you figure out the front-post double crochet and back-post double crochet stitches. The post crochet stitches are worked on front and back, making the finished fabric quite thick and warm. This also means that the yarn is used up pretty quickly. This Debbie Bliss Andes yarn is a single ply blend of alpaca and silk, and the silk adds a lovely sheen to each strand while the alpaca lends warmth and softness.
