Linen Stitch Moebius Cowls
WORLD EXCLUSIVE

Combine deliciously hand dyed yarn colours with the brilliant Cat Bordhi's Magical Moebius cast-on for a lovely length of knitted fabric to wrap up in for winter.

Choose either the linen stitch or half-linen stitch versions both of which do a marvellous job of mixing up the colours. The linen stitch cowl is a bit denser fabric than the half-linen but both take the same amount of yarn. The half-linen is longer and can be wrapped around your neck three times for extra coziness. The linen stitch version wraps twice.

The pattern points you in the direction of Bordhi's instructions for her special cast-on and once you have done that, the knitting is simple.

Both cowls are finished off with a bit of garter stitch and a picot cast off.
