Drochaid Mhira is the Gaelic name for Marion Bridge, a small village in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, made famous in Allister MacGillivray’s Song for the Mira. The beautiful blue tones in the yarn used for the sample reminded me of the myriad of blues present in the ocean and sky on a clear, sunny day.

Moebius knitting is a wondrously fascinating endeavour – you knit around and around but complete a beautiful loop scarf with a half twist in the construction. This half-twist provides the opportunity for some rather elegant fashion opportunities – scarf, shawl, cowl, double-wrap neck warmer…

Bonus Instructional Materials
A 3-page photo tutorial is included for the Moebius cast on as well as a link to a video tutorial. These pages are at the end of the pattern giving you the option of not printing them.
