Learn to Knit - Garter Stitch Scarf or Handwarmers

Tuesdays, October 7 & 14, 2025 4-6PM

Choose your project! Both are included in the pattern, and either one is about as simple as it gets—just knit, knit, knit. 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 wee bit of seaming around the thumbs. Handsome on men and women alike, these easy pieces make great gifts. From you, the knitter
