Moebius Scarf

Moebius1

I’m glad I was able to finish this scarf before it gets too warm to wear it. Like the “Moebius strip” you may have explored as a kid in math class, this scarf has one (1) side and one (1) edge!

Although I am a competent knitter and married to a mathematician, I did not invent this fun project. Cat Bordhi reveals the secrets of topological knitting in her book, A Treasury of Magical Knitting. This book is so popular at the library that I had to wait a long time to get it, but the special cast-on method is central (literally) to the success of knitting a moebius so I dropped everything and made one this month.

I used a slinky bamboo/wool yarn for a nice drape. I planned it to be just long enough to wrap around twice, and so far that’s my favorite way to wear it. Geek Chic was never so glamorous!
