The Stitch-Sampler Handwarmers & Ribbed Scarf is a Churchmouse Classroom First Projects pattern that teaches essential stitch patterns. For the scarf you alternate two knits and two purls to create handsome vertical ribs; the handwarmers combine a ridged garter-stitch cuff, a smooth stockinette hand, and a bit of springy K2/P2 ribbing at the finger edge to echo the scarf.
