Special Notes
- This pattern creates a Mobius loop (infinite twist scarf) by working both edges of the foundation chain.
- For the Mobius effect, the first round is twisted before continuing round two.
- Make the initial chain as long as the widest part of your shoulders or to your preferred scarf length.
- Pattern is worked in joined rounds—there is no seam.
Pattern Instructions
Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Ch as many as needed to wrap around the widest part of your shoulders or to your desired circumference. (The sample does not specify a stitch count—customize to your preference; for a cowl/necklace: 80–120 is typical, for a shoulder wrap: 140–180).
- Check that your chain is not twisted, then sl st into the first ch to form a ring.
Round 1
- Ch 3 (counts as first dc).
- Dc in each ch around.
- At the end of the round, place your work flat on a table.
- To start the Mobius:
- Hold the left side of the chain and gently twist the work once before continuing.
- The next round will be worked along the “bottom” of your foundation chain (opposite side of starting dcs).
Round 2 (Forming Mobius Loop)
- Continue with double crochet, but now work into the back loop (bottom) of the foundation chain from the first round.
- Yarn over, insert hook into the back loop at the base of the first dc of round 1, make a dc as usual.
- Continue, working dc into the back loop of each foundation chain, all the way around.
- When you reach the “beginning,” you will have seamlessly joined both sides of the chain and created the twist.
Rnd 3 and Beyond
- Now work in continuous rounds:
- Dc in each dc of the previous round, this time inserting your hook under both loops as normal.
- Continue working rounds of double crochet until the scarf reaches desired width, or until you nearly run out of yarn.
Finishing
- When the scarf is wide enough, end with one single crochet:
- Insert hook, yarn over, pull through (2 loops), yarn over, pull through both loops.
- Make two slip stitches in the next two stitches to create a smooth edge.
- Fasten off yarn, and weave in ends using a tapestry needle.
Conclusion

Pattern Correction
- Check your chain is not twisted before joining for the Mobius twist to work!
- Foundation chain can be any length as long as it is not too tight; err on the side of loose for comfort and drape.
- If you prefer a specific width, count your rounds and stop when you are satisfied.
Tips
- Use the entire skein for a generously sized scarf, or stop earlier for a slimmer cowl.
- Wet block your finished scarf to enhance drape and to even out the stitches.
- Try with a larger hook size or a softer yarn for an even airier effect.
- This project makes a great gift and is ideal for beginner to intermediate crocheters wanting to try a new technique.
