The inevitable Möbius

It was truly inevitable. The Möbius. Ever since I've first come across one of the many instructions I knew, that sooner or later I'd be doing one of my one. Although it seemed daunting at first, it is really quite simple.

I used 4 skeins of Lang Yarns Nobile, cast on 140 stitches per Cat Bordhi's amazing cast on and knit on and on and on until I (almost) ran out of yarn. (I weighed how much I used per row, so that I knew when to stop.) And here we are. The finished product measures approximately 100 x 25 cm.

When I started it seemed to be very small. After all, I used a 120cm circular needle (8mm). Simple maths tells you, that the circumference of the scarf was no more than 60cm. Quite a difference. But it turned out alright. Quite magic.

One side. One edge. That's the Möbius.

By the way, the bluish thing on my head? That's another Amanda Hat. This time it is large enough to wear with a pony tail underneath ;)
