First Projects Stitch-Sampler by Churchmouse Yarns

This Churchmouse Classroom First Projects pattern will teach you three essential stitch patterns. For the scarf, you’ll simply alternate two knits and two purls to create handsome vertical ribs. In the handwarmers you'll knit a ridged garter-stitch cuff, a smooth stockinette-stitch hand, and a bit of springy K2/P2 ribbing at the finger edge to echo the scarf. It's easy! The pattern shows you how.

Finished Sizes:

Scarf: Approx. 6½"/16.5cm wide x 68"/173cm long, before blocking; 8"/20cm wide after blocking (ribbing will pull in again as you wear it).
