Zippy Faux Möbius Scarf

Faux Mobious Cowl

The zippy faux möbius scarf is very simple and fast to knit. Worked completely in garter stitch and then a simple twist creates a unique scarf. 

What is a möbius strip? It is a one-sided surface that is constructed from a rectangle by holding one end fixed, rotating the opposite end through 180 degrees, and joining it to the first end.

  1. Hi, Isela–
    I just bought your Loom Knitting Afghans book, and I’m trying to make the Chevron Throw, but I’m finding the directions confusing, especially when it seems there should be an empty peg, and there isn’t, how to proceed.
    Do you have a video about the chevron stitch? I’ve always found your videos very helpful.
    Thanks!

  2. Isela,
    I have admired your creations
    and appreciated your generous, clear instructions
    for several years now.
    I have absorbed your Primer
    and, being a new grandpa,
    I have your Babies and Toddlers book right here in front of me.
    You’re a one-woman educational industry!
    One item I have searched for in vain
    is a Man’s Kerchief type shawl or scarf.
    Something like the Bandana Cowl by Purl Soho would be great,
    and one of Stephen West’s scarves would be perfect!
    What do you think?
