I’ve decided that I’ll just call this the updated version of a Mobious shawl. It is like a shawl that gives you a hug. It’s comfortable to wear and you can tuck your hands into the fold to keep them warm or leave them free to do things without the garment falling off. I love to wear this when I’m travelling. It’s great for a night out or on a cruise. Or, how about shopping? Remember, your hands are free to do whatever you want. I make these in lots of different color and yarn combinations. I always use cotton in the warp (lengthwise threads) and novelty yarns to make the subtle stripes using Fibonacci numbers. The weft (crosswise threads) vary between cotton, rayon and rayon chenille.
