See the photo that kinda simplifies it. So before joining the flat piece you simply purposefully twist once or more and join. So now you have a circular not flat sitting piece.

Imagine taking the right end and picking up just that end, twisting so that what was the table touching piece is now up. Don't let go. <br />3. Now continue with your knitting in your desired pattern making sure to maintain as is. As you continue you will find the twist more predominant. :)<br /><br />Karen Ramel<br />Vancouver BC canadaKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519604547062565847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229331897552090084.post-48854443368977633812013-01-31T13:12:40.316-08:002013-01-31T13:12:40.316-08:00Needles: regardless to straight or circular the si...Needles: regardless to straight or circular the size should be similar.

Murie...Great Cowl, Great pattern. Love your store!<br /><br />Muriel, After casting on the stitches you usually check they are all straight before starting. With this you can take the first cast stitch (the knot)and spin it around the needle once before you start knitting. <br /><br />Perhaps someone else can explain it better?<br /><br />Juliajulianufernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229331897552090084.post-5309449063927459712011-12-05T06:30:35.543-08:002011-12-05T06:30:35.543-08:00how do you do the Twist in the round?how do you do the Twist in the round?Murielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09012649707191748185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229331897552090084.post-65775528110122414732011-02-20T07:01:39.483-08:002011-02-20T07:01:39.483-08:00Beautiful!

I knitted a seed stitch cowl with thicker yarn because I like it to cover my chin and mouth in our cold Michigan winter, but this has a really nice drape to it. Also I knitted mine with straight needles and no twist.

It's a loop with a twist in it. A true mobius has one continuous side while this has two. I'm loving how it's turning out, though. I'm using the Mountain Majesty color and this cowl really highlights the beautiful color variations. I received the yarn as a gift and struggled a long time to find the right pattern for it.
