Formation is a classic moebius cowl, an homage to knitwear innovators, knit from beginning to end into its final form. 


Meditative sequence knitting advances this geometric mind-bender with a single edge and a single side with broken garter texture, ideal for blending several or simply two yarns into innovative marled combinations.

While the Moebius cast on is a specific technique not typically employed, it is well worth learning and adding to the adventurous knitter’s repertoire.

Two versions are included; the SuperMarl version and the SimpleMarl version.
