Here's a pattern for a Moebius scarf.

The first few rounds are difficult to knit, but it gets easier as the scarf gets wider.

You actually cannot make a material representation of a moebius strip in three dimensions. The paper twist you describe is an approximation based on the idea that if you follow one side of the strip all the way around, you wind up on the other side of the strip. But obviously there are still two sides. A true moebius is a mathematical equation.

This isn't a question, merely two nouns, one proper and one common, with a ? after them
A Moebius strip is a strip of something that has only one side and one edge. It is made by cutting a rectangle of paper or cloth and turning one of the short ends 180 degrees and attaching it to the other end.
It became a knitting fad quite a while ago, though I have not seen one in quite a while.

There's a whole article about just that in a recent DISCOVER magazine. You can read it online at

Good luck!
