This Churchmouse Classroom First Projects pattern is an excellent place to begin and is about as simple as it gets. When you turn garter stitch on its side, the little ridges create a ribbed effect that is nice and stretchy making the handwarmers easy to fit with just a bit of seaming around the thumbs. Handsome on men and women alike, these easy pieces make great gifts. Also, included in the pattern are photo tutorials to help you along the way.
