The other day I shared the Cloudy Sky Mobius Cowl pattern:

Here is a more detailed photo tutorial on making the twist, or mobius part of the pattern, I thought it would be good to add a little more directions and how-to photos in case you needed them. This is also a great tutorial for transforming any scarf you already have into a mobius too!
To start, all you’ll need is the scarf, a tapestry or yarn needle, and scrap yarn of the same color as you used in your project:
Begin by unrolling the scarf so that is flat,
Now you’ll want to put a half twist in it as shown,
Here is how it looks now…it looks like a big “V”
Now fold the sides in as shown. See where the needle is pointing in the picture below? That is where we’ll stitch it up.
Thread a tapestry needle with the same yarn used to make the scarf,
Now whip stitch it up so it will lay nice and flat.
All finished! Easy as pie, and makes a lovely cold weather accessory.
Love this pattern!! Can't wait to make it myself!! Thanks!!
Yay! Have fun and you're so welcome!
I made this today for a charity auction. My mom liked it so much, she asked me to make her one and I'm definitely making myself one! A very quick and easy pattern, thank you for sharing, I love it!
Yay! I'm so glad you like it! Definitely make one for yourself too! 🙂
Love this tutorial Jennifer – have just put a mobius twist in a length of trebles and half trebles and made a fab cowl that sits flat!
Thank you so much for all the inspiration on your blog – is packed with great ideas!

This is going to sound odd but I made one to fit my daughters old dog he freezes. I made it long enough to wrap around once to cover ears and neck. He loved it.
Thank you Jennifer for this tutorial. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to make my cowl lay flat. I love your tutorials. I watched the video you made to teach showing how to arm knit and made that scarf. You are a wonderful teacher
does making a scarf into this mobius way work on any scarf pattern? and what is the advantage? so if you make a infinity type scarf 6-7 feet length before st together twist it and does it make it lay better? tia! 🙂
well i got an email that i got a response to my comment, but nope nothing here!!! i hope you or someone will give me an answer to my question! thanks 🙂
