Love unusual techniques? This reversibly cabled infinity ring uses Cat Bordhi’s ingenious moebius cast on and a super stretchy and decorative bind off.

Special Notes for Casting On and Binding Off:
This cowl is a true Moebius knit in the round on a long circular needle. The Moebius Technique for a special cast on has been described by Cat Bordhi in her TREASURY OF MAGICAL KNITTING books. She also has a great tutorial on You Tube. Search for “Cat Bordhi – Intro to Moebius Knitting” or visit her website at www.catbordhi.com. The cowl is completed with an interesting bind off that creates an especially stretchy edging.
