Iris, with her stunning stranded colorwork, is a moebius cowl that is the epitome of ease, style and comfort all rolled into one. Simply slip it over your head, give it a little fluff, and voila – you’re out the door and on-the-go chic!

Iris loop begins with a provisional cast on and is knit in the round as a tube. After blocking, the tube is twisted once and the live ends are grafted together with Kitchener Stitch to form a continuous twisted loop.
