Purzelbaum (meaning “somersault” in German) is the ideal solution for gorgeous graduated yarns – fun to knit and beautiful to wear. It’s worked outwards from a central moebius cast-on, so that the colour changes radiate out. The magical moebius half-twist also creates a particularly graceful drape and results in a perfectly reversible cowl.

The moebius cast-on, while easy to work, makes for a fiddly start and the first few rounds may feel awkward. However, it soon gets easier – and that’s the only tricky bit!

If you prefer, it can also be worked with a regular cast-on for a regular, untwisted cowl. Instructions are provided for both options.

Thanks to my tech editor Kate Atherley and my lovely testers.

Notes
This pattern requires 300m of gradient yarn of roughly fingering weight – I have suggested a few possibilities.
