Errata
Some knitters have asked about the piece on the cover. The model is wearing Cruz, a mobius strip, which is knitted in the round with a twist. As with all scarves, it can be worn in various ways - around the neck, the shoulders or the head, as in this case. The dimensions of Cruz are given in the pattern in three sizes – the one on the cover is the small size and it’s wrapped around the model’s head twice.
