BROKEN STRIPES MOEBIUS
Tools needed: US size 9 60 inch circular needles Stitch marker 2 colors worsted weight yarn. I used Bernat Super Value solids. Stitches used K -Knit P-Purl pw - purl wrap. Stick your needle into the stitch to purl, wrap your yarn around your needle 2 times and pull both wraps through stitch to complete it s1 - slip 1 stitch with yarn in front s1w - slip 1 wrap. Slip one of the wraps and allow the 2nd wrap to drop off the needle, this will create a loosestitch
Color A
Using the moebius cast on, cast on 100 stitches. Cat Bordhi has an excellent tutorial on YouTube for learning the moebius cast on. Remember only court the stitches you put on the needle, not the ones on the cable. You are casting on 100 stitches but when you work the project it will take 200 stitches to complete one full round. Place a stitch marker on the needle when done. Round 1: knit Round 2: k2, pw 1, ( k4, pw 1) repeat to 2 stitches from marker, k2 Break yarn
Color B
Round 3: k2, s1w, (k4, s1w) repeat until 2 stitches from marker, k2 Round 4: k2, s1, (k4, s1) repeat until 2 stitches from marker, k2 Round 5: Repeat round 4 Round 6: k2, pw 1 (k4, pw 1) repeat until 2 stitches from marker, k2 Break yarn

Color A:
\*K2, p1 (k4, p1) repeat until 2 stitches from marker, k2\* Repeat from \* to\*for a total of 4 rounds. Bind off and weave in ends.
BROKEN STRIPES SCARF
I like to slip a stitch to clean up my edges. For mine I slipped the last stitch wyif than knit it when I turned. You need to add the extra wrap to make the slipped stitches longer so they don't pull the stripes on the other side out of shape. I broke my yarn each time rather than try to trail the color up the side. K = knit P= purl KW (knit wrap) = Put your needle into the stitch to knit, wrap your yarn around your needle 2 times and pull both wraps through stitch to complete it wyif = with yarn in front wyib = with yarn in back s of 5 + 4 (this will give you a full scarf with garter edging to prevent curling) WithcolorA knit 4 rows. Row 5. k4, kw, (p4, kw) repeat to last 4 stitches, k4 with colorB: row 6:k4, slip 1st loop wyif and drop the 2nd loop, (k4, slip 1 loop wyif and drop 1 loop) repeat to last 4 stitches, k4 row 7: k4, slip 1 wyib, (p4, slip 1 wyib) repeat to last 4 stitches, k4 row 8: k4, slip 1 wyif, (k4, slip 1 wyif) repeat to last 4 stitches, k4 row 9: k4, kw, (p4, kw) repeat to last 4 stitches, k4 With color A: repeat rows 6-9 Continue to repeat rows 6 - 9 alternating colors until the scarf is long enoug End with 4 rows of garter in color A I broke my yarn each time rather than try to trail the color up the side.
