Serene Sampler Mobius Cowl FREE Knitting Pattern
by Kristin Omdahl
This is a super simple knitting pattern worked in garter stitch only. The dropped stitches are unraveled in the unique cast off technique. The intricate color work is deceptively simple: using a sampler set of 8 colors of Be So Serene Yarn AND alternating the colors offset you can a very unique blending of these gorgeous hand dyed colors.
What you will need:
1 sampler set of Be So Serene Yarn
color A Centered, color B Lovable, color C Mindful, color D Grateful, color E Gentle, color F Tranquil, color G Peaceful, color H Blissful
#3 DK Weight Yarn
#2 Sport Weight Yarn
NOTE: you could use one solid color of sport weight yarn for a monochromatic project

BO as follows to create the airy dropped stitch texture: *BO 5 sts and pull the
balls of yarn through the last stitch to fasten off, knit the next stitch. Rep from * to last 5
sts: BO last 5 sts. You should have 6 sections of 1 stitch still on the needle. Slide these
stitches off of the needle and let them unravel down to the cast on edge. This will take a
bit of gentle manipulation as sometimes the stitches will get stuck.
Wash, block to finished measurements and let dry.
Assembly: Sew into a tube for a cowl. Twist fabric once before seaming to create a mobius cowl. Or, leave flat for a scarf.
