This pattern gives instructions for a mobius scarf in 2 gauges, (regular worsted and HELP!-I-need-a-gift-tomorrow!!! super-bulky) with a reversible triangle motif. It has a lot of mathematical oddities (12repeats of 12 stitches, right triangles, and of course the mobius design) making it the perfect gift for the geek in your life. Also suitable for non-geeky people - just don’t tell them all the math! Mobius mufflers are incredibly comfortable to wear; they sit nicely folded on your chest, and don’t blow off no matter how much wind there is or how fast you ski. The cast on is the only challenging part. After that, it knits up quick and easy.

Gauge: Worsted version: 5 SPI. Super bulky version: 2.5 SPI.
