Worked in the round with a half-twist, Courser Loop is a moebius infinity cowl that alternates long rounds of slipped stitch, broken rib, and reverse broken rib patterns, and is finished along the outer edge with K1P1 ribbing. The reverse of the stitch patterns each create a unique and beautiful fabric, taking advantage of the moebius structure which magically displays the RS on one half of the length, and the WS on the other, making the cowl attractive on both sides and completely reversible. Designer’s Notes: This infinity loop is worked in the round outwards from the cast on, which becomes the middle of the loop, until the outside edge is reached and bound off. To adjust the length of your loop, CO more or fewer stitches in multiples of 2; to customize the width, work the various stitch patterns in any combination, for any number of repeats. Techniques & Skills Used: moebius CO, knit/purl, slipped stitches, working in the round; instructions for stitch patterns are fully written, and a link to the moebius CO tutorial . . .
PatchRib Loop
Choose the PatchRib Set ebook, and make the matching collection of scarf, hat and infinity loop. Create a patchwork infinity cowl using fluffy, two-color Fisherman’s rib. The fully reversible stitch pattern allows a different color to dominate on each side, while the shifting color blocks provide plenty of visual interest. Loop it once or twice, wear it twisted or straight; this neckwarmer presents so many styling options. Construction: Worked back and forth from one end to the other, the PatchRIB Loop is cast on using the provisional method, and grafted closed. Using just one color per row, the fluffy Fisherman’s rib stitch pattern is a four-row repeat, in which two RS rows are worked with alternating colors by sliding the stitches to the other end of the circular needle, then the work is turned and two WS rows are worked similarly. Slipped stitch edges keep the color changes invisible and create a sophisticated appearance. Techniques & Skills Used: provisional CO, knit/purl, working into the stitch below, grafting.
