The Rebecca Mobius Scarf free pattern is finally here! Create this elegant striping by alternating from inside and outside of a Scheepjes Whirl cake in Blueberry Bambam, or use any of the gorgeous colorways for a totally different look. Check out my review of Scheepjes Whirl to see all the deets and where to cop.
This is the perfect project if you’re trying to make something that will be appreciated by anyone. There is an alternate version without the beads to widen the wearability even more. The scarf uses about half of the cake, so grab one and make two!
You might remember a while back I was playing around with a new cake of Scheepjes Whirl in BlueBerry Bambam, and decided to make a beaded scarf. Check out my review of Whirl for all the details!
Well that scarf turned into the Rebecca Möbius Scarf, named after my 10 year-old because she ended up loving the blue colorway.
I pre-strung the beads, and worked alternating from the inside and the outside of the cake. It was surprisingly easy after my tester, Andrea Grimaldi (@ndrgrmld on Instagram) gave me a tip: pull the center end one way, and unwind the outside end toward the opposite direction. This way they never meet and won’t tangle! Brilliant! 😁
Here is my Rebecca Möbius Scarf as modeled by its namesake.
The color changes of Whirl with the striping has me absolutely giddy, and the beads give it that added touch. But the beads aren’t 100% necessary and it looks awesome without them! Just ask Andrea – she tested the pattern with the Green Tea Tipple colorway without the beading, and it came out fantastic.
You can’t wear this without smiling! Pick any shade of Whirl and look for the free pattern next week. ❤️❤️

You can see the dazzling effect that it makes when the yarn goes from navy blue to cream, and all the shades in between. This is blue jeans and chic stripes at its best.
This is one of my favorite projects I’ve ever made, and definitely my favorite wearable. When your hipster 10 year-old likes it, you know it’s a winner…

Instructions
Note: Scarf is worked alternating between center and outside of cake for the pictured color effect. On my chosen Whirl colorway, Blueberry Bambam, the center color is cream, and the outside color is navy blue. Alternatively, working only from center or outside of cake will produce a gradient color as the cake shows.
String beads onto yarn
Pull center yarn from cake and string 72 beads of choice onto yarn. Make sure beads slide somewhat freely along yarn. Do not string beads on the outside yarn, unless you are working you scarf from only the outside of the cake.
Row 1 (RS) With center yarn, sliding beads down the yarn until they are needed, sl knot and ch 63, sc in third ch from hook, turning ch counts as (sc, ch 1), (ch 1, sk 1, sc in next ch) across to end, pull a bead flush to end of row, ch 1 to secure bead, turn work. [31 sc, 30 ch]
Row 2 sc in turning ch, (ch 1, sc in next ch sp) across. Place final sc in final ch sp from previous row, and change color on the last step of this sc by drawing yarn from outer color of cake through 2 loops to complete the sc st. Ch 1, turn work.
Row 3 Continuing in outer color (navy) sc in first ch sp, (ch 1, sc in next ch sp) across, placing final sc in last ch sp from previous row, turn work.
Row 4 Rep Row 2, changing back to center color on final st.
Row 5 Working with center color (cream), rep Row 3, securing a bead at the end of the row, as in Row 1.
Rows 6-255 Rep Rows 2-5, ending with a Row 3.
Row 288 Sc in all sts/chs across. Do not change color in last st on final row. Do not cut yarn yet.
Optional: add length here to make a larger scarf for doubling it up! We double it up at this size, but more length can be added as well.
Join ends to make möbius scarf
Put one half-twist into the scarf as follows: lay scarf with RS up, locate Row 288 and flip this end of the scarf over, but leave the Row 1 end of the scarf in place. Using working yarn from Row 288, sl st final row to first row, working through both loops of final row and bottom loops of chains from first row. Be sure to match up sts when joining. Cut both yarns and finish off/weave all ends. Seam should be worn at back of the neck.
