The original model used Limestone Glow, which has a metallic glint that is quite elegant. Whether you are on a Roman Holiday, or playing in the snow, this is a great accessory. Two versions for versatility: Regular circular infinity scarf or true Moebius. Simple to make--the most complicated part is learning the moebius cast-on, and a link is included to Cat Bordhi’s lovely tutorial. There are two sizes in the infinity version. The longer style is great to twist for a double cowl or to draw up and protect your ears. The textured pattern works well with either smooth or ‘smooshy’ yarns. One of those hand spun blends of silk/alpaca would be lovely to use in this design. If you are a tight knitter, loosen up with a larger needle and just have fun.
