Here's one for KENT


The landscape of East Kent, UK is wonderfully diverse, rich in its arable land, fruit growing, horticulture and wildlife - and it's this glorious rolling countryside which is my inspiration for this crochet mobius scarf - COUNTRY TRACKS.  Just a bit manly and robust with a softening in the roll factor.  Just like the countryside rough in parts and with a soft edge to it's beauty.

CREATING WITH PURPOSE

So, unlike my other mobius scarf patterns this time I've designed it to roll - yes, that's right ROLL.

I like the bobble stitch and thought I would take advantage of it's texture, and create a country themed scarf with an added little twist in the very last round to allow it to roll back over itself.

Initially it looks like any other crochet mobius, seems to lie flat as you work each round, but then add the last round, and give it a stretch - hey presto! you have a roll factor with a mind of it's own.
