The Mobius is a clever creation using
circular needles. A quick flick of the
stitches on the needle in the starting row
makes a fabric twist that will never untwist!
Next pages show the Mobius worn doubled
as a cowl. Yarn; Silkroad Aran Tweed,

 The Mobius (above) is very quick to knit and a great way for
beginner knitters to discover how easy it is to use circular
needles, working in rounds. The Mobius is a collar with a
twist that will never untwist and may be worn doubled as a
cowl (as above) or undoubled, as a scarf (see previous page).
Yarn; Silkroad Aran Tweed, colour; Ash.
