Thank you both, this is just what I was looking for. Now all I have to do is find the time to sit and knit.

It's called a mobius.

This particular scarf is not a moebius. There is no twist in it at all. It is simply a tube scarf made on large enough needles to allow it to be stretched either to be long and skinny or short and wide enough to be placed as a hood and shawlette.

Made one last winter and couldn't remember the pattern found it so am posting it maybe too late but very easy
not sure how much you cast on as it doesn't say just what width you want "knit 1, slip as if to purl" till its as big as you want I put in a few rows of fun fur
hope this helps
