I just made my first moebius scarf, ribbed, with Fiesta La Boheme yarn and some single ply silk in a similar colorway. And two rows of single-crochet edging. Am fulminating over how to block it.

Nice patterns Zone5!
Salsabike, I've not (yet) made my first moebius scarf, however I do now that everyone I know this year who HAS made one has not blocked it. Looks beautiful to me as is!

Thanks! I've just read a bunch of stuff about why blocking matters, so I am going to try. I got an intricate set of instructions passed along by SadieKate, but I think I need to feel SMARTER than I do at the moment to pursue those. I'll show you guys once I DO block it, just so you can see if it made a difference.
I am dead impressed by what you all are doing.

I'm sort of losey-goosey with blocking - I generally soak, towel roll, and then flatten out to the desired shape. With mobius scarves, I do the ends doubled over straight - and then sort of press the flipped part flat mid-piece. Much clearer in person....
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
