mobius scarf

the magazine where I found the pattern is caled simply knitting and the copy is dated spring 2006,email them at simplyknitting@futurenet.co.uk
now a lady called cat bordi has two fabulous books out called magical knitting...full of mobuis stuff,there are free insructions out there on the net but cant remember where,sorry try also the spelling mobeus...
the large scarves take aobut four balls of eyelash type stuff bought cheaply from wilkinson shops try to get the ones that have 100 yards ,not 50 per ball,and use a circular needle either 12 mm or 15mm,get long ones cos they sort of need to coil up inside themselves
will try and get a better photo of how gorgeous these are
