A brief explanation of a moebius can be found at the link below. It is a one-sided surface. Mr. Mobius is the person who discovered this shape. A lovely scarf can be made using this shape and it can be worn several ways: as a neck warmer, a shawl, or a hood.

Is the pattern or picture in one of those books, Donna? Where do we go to see it?

Has anyone seen the Cat Bordhi book on " Magical Knitting" I think it is called. It is all about using a Moebius cast on to make all kind of things.
But what she does seems to be quite complicated. There is the use of LONG circulars, 47 to 60 inch, they are looped up double and then instead of a regular cast on, some loops are made and then you knit into those. You end up knitting from the middle outwards.

Has anyone done this successfully?
I am hoping to give it a go one of these days.

I've checked out the book online, and am quite interested, but not yet willing to spending $25+ for it. I did purchase the scarf pattern that I posted the link for. I have not attempted it yet, but it does sound a bit complicated using one very long circular needle, and another circular needle a bit shorter. I think it is one of those things that is difficult to visualize, but once you physically attempt it, will prove much easier.

Couldn't you make a moebius simply by twisting the cast-on striches before you join them together and knit circular?

LindaC says that is just what she did accidentally. I certainly don't mean to disagree with her, but I believe if you twist the cast on stitches you will get a complete turn, and you only want a half turn. I need to just break down and give this a try and settle it for my own knowledge once and for all.

Try it....you'll see....
It becomes a loop with no beginning and no end! Most frustrating if that's not what you want.

How's about these!

These are all nice. I especially like the Lace Moebius Scarf, worn on the head or as a shawl. I think the "Wear-as-a-collar scarf" in Pam Allen's Scarf Style book is a mini-Moebius, if I'm not mistaken. I'd have to double-check.
