Maiori celebrates the longest stretch of unbroken beaches on the Amalfi coast with three stitch patterns in a moebius cowl. Your preferences in the Pattern Tailor are the Path to Maiori in any gauge, any yarn, and any size.
There are videos, written instructions, and Action charts to take you from the center to the outer edge. You decide the size, weight of yarn, and colors! Go here for a quick tutorial on using the Pattern Tailor before purchasing!
Path to Maiori Cowl
Take the Path to Maiori Pattern Tailor to get numbers for making this at any gauge, in any yarn, your preferred needle size, in your preferred measurements.
The Pattern Tailor will produce a new pdf of the pattern with all the [ ] filled in based on the information you input.
I’ve made Path to Maiori in different color combinations, and used varying numbers of rounds for each of the three stitch patterns, and I am sure there are other ways to personalize your Path to Maiori
This is a fun resource for figuring out the smallest number of stitches you can cast on for a moebius.
