How to Make a Live Your Magic Mobius Shawl

Introduction

Welcome to Body Life Crochet! In this tutorial, I will show you how to make a Live Your Magic Mobius Shawl. This versatile shawl can be worn in multiple ways, providing different levels of coverage and coziness. We will be using the dancing stitch and the bead bobble stitch to create a unique border. Let's get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, gather the following materials:

  • Lion Brand Jeans Yarn (3.5 ounces, medium 4 weight)
  • Size US I (5.5mm) crochet hook
  • Scissors
  • Stitch markers
  • Darning needle

Getting Started

To start, we will create a slip knot and chain a shorter length compared to the standard pattern. Refer to the written pattern for the exact number of chains required. Once you have your starting chain, slip stitch to the first chain to create a circle. This will be the starting point for the Mobius shawl. Chain two and double crochet into each chain around.

Making the Base

Continue double crocheting into each chain until you reach the beginning point. Instead of slip stitching to the top, twist the row away from you and double crochet into each stitch along the bottom. This twist creates the unique Mobius shape. Keep double crocheting until you reach the first stitch and slip stitch to close the row.

Adding the Dancing Stitch

For row two, we will introduce the dancing stitch. This stitch creates a beautiful textured pattern. Chain two and begin the dancing stitch by yarn over, inserting your hook into the same stitch as the chain, and pull up a loop. Repeat this process in the next stitch, totaling five loops on your hook. Pull through the first four loops, and then pull through the last two. Continue this stitch for the entire row, making sure to crochet into the stitch you just left off on. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to finish the row.

Creating the Border

To add a border to the shawl, we will use a combination of single crochet stitches and the bead bobble stitch. Start with a row of single crochet stitches, using a stitch marker to mark the first stitch. Chain one, single crochet into the same stitch as the chain, and continue single crocheting until you reach the stitch marker. Slip stitch to close the row.

For the bead bobble stitch row, chain two and begin the bead bobble stitch by yarn over, inserting your hook into the same stitch as the chain, and pull up a loop three times. This will give you seven loops on your hook. Yarn over and pull through all seven loops, then chain one and skip the next stitch. Repeat the bead bobble stitch pattern for the entire row. Slip stitch to the top of the first stitch to finish the row.

Alternate between a row of single crochet stitches and a row of bead bobble stitches until you reach the desired border thickness. Slip stitch to close the last row.

Finishing Touches

Trim any excess yarn and weave in the loose ends using a darning needle. Once all ends are secured, your Live Your Magic Mobius Shawl is ready to be worn and enjoyed!

Variations and Customizations

Feel free to customize your Mobius shawl by adjusting the length, width, and border design. Add fringe, tassels, or embellishments to make it your own unique creation.

Tips and Tricks

  • Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each row.
  • Experiment with different yarns and hook sizes to achieve different looks and textures.
  • Block your shawl after completing it to enhance the drape and shape.
