Knitting pattern for Möbius cowl with leaf pattern

A möbius band is a surface with only one side and one edge. If you take a paper strip and hold it up in front of you, turn one end halfway and glue the ends together, you can now draw one line that runs all the way around and meets itself at the start. It has only one side. Such a möbius can be knitted! Here with a simple lace pattern and finished with a beautiful border with a leaf pattern.

Designed by Katrine Hannibal for Önling.
