Meet renowned knitter Cat Bordhi, who will reveal the mysteries of the Moebius structure and the harmony it can bring to your knitting. The trickiest part of Moebius knitting is the cast-on, but with Cat as your guide, you'll soon master it!
Begin simply: For the Simplest-of-All Moebius Scarf, all you need to do is knit in the round until your scarf is the size you want. Want something more complex? Add purling and color changes to create the Accordion Scarf, and get Cat's tips on binding off and hiding tails.
A felted Moebius bowl makes a charming gift you might want to keep for yourself. Learn how to add waste yarn that you'll "unzip" to create the bowl sides. Cat shows how to pick up stitches and make increases and decreases to give the bowl a pleasing shape. Then get tips on how to felt your treasure!
The mirroring created by the Moebius shape means that even a simple lace pattern on a cowl can look amazingly complex. Master a precise cast-on and see how to keep track of the repetitive pattern with stitch markers. Finally, Cat suggests ways to block your cowl to show off your stitches.
Building on your bowl-making skills from Lesson 3, create even more mysterious Moebius vessels: trifold nesting bowls with applied I-cord edging. Cat shows how to create these connected bowls, add I-cord and safely felt to avoid tangling.
Did you ever covet unspun fiber, but couldn't justify buying it because you don't spin? Well, you can use it to knit the most delicious warm and cushy cowl with Cat's guidance. See how to draft the fibers and then knit very gently with big stitches to create a gorgeous and unique accessory.
Wrap up your Moebius adventure with Cat's intriguing meandering cowl, a free-form project with undulating short rows, a wavy edge and applied I-cord. Let go of precision and enjoy the process of creating hills and valleys or river currents as you knit. It looks complicated, but you'll know it's really not!

Cat Bordhi

When asked what she does for a living, Cat Bordhi once replied "I'm an archaeological forensic topologist." After all, knitting is indeed topology (the study of knots and pathways), and she's immensely curious about the many ways it can be done (forensics). But more than either of these things, Cat loves the innocent, unfettered sense of wonder that arises in knitters as they explore the enchanting world of loops. That's why teaching will forever be her passion. As for designing? The nearly 10 knitting books that sheÂ’s authored speak to her love of dreaming up patterns.
