7 seester mobius scarf

My little sister, Emmie, goes to school in Iowa & it’s still chilly there (just starting to warm up!). When she visited for Thanksgiving, I knit her this lovely cashmere cowl which she worn incessantly & washed it, unknowingly felting the crap out of it! In case you were wondering, Capra from Knitpicks felts AWESOMELY. Needless to say: she needed a new one. & this is how the 7 Seester Double Mobius scarf was born.

I based the pattern off the number 7, which is how many years my sister and I are apart in age. This is an easily changeable pattern, you can modify it to use a number significant to you!

Want to knit one yourself?
Materials: • 3 skeins Andean Silk in Merryweather (or any worsted weight yarn that’s soft enough for your skin)
• 29″ circular needles, size US 9

Pattern:
CO 158 sts using your preferred cast on method. My favorite is the cable cast on.
Normally when joining a piece knitting to continue in the round, you want to be very careful to make sure that the whole piece is straight and not twisted. But for the 7 Seester Double Mobius scarf, you will intentionally twist your knitting so the stitches make a corkscrew (2 twists) around your needles before you join your work.

After joining, knit alternating stripes as below:
Knit Stripe: knit 7 rounds
Purl Stripe: purl 7 rounds

Repeat the set of stripes 7 times. Bind off & weave in your ends. Easy-peasy, lemony-squeezy. The scarf is a twisty toasty confection for yourself or a lucky recipient.
