Eyelet-Edged
Coasters -- This is a
square garter stitch coaster with simple eyelet edging.
It should be made with 100% cotton so it’s absorbent (don’t
you hate those stone or plastic coasters where the water just runs off
or drips off the glass every time you pick it up?), and it’s machine
washable and dryable, too.

Neck Gaiter
-- This
tubular neck gaiter is knitted in a simple ribbing pattern. It can be worn around the neck and pulled up over the mouth
and nose if it’s very cold. It
also works great as a simple hat if it’s not too cold out (the
open top lets some of the heat out).
always part of my
cool-weather camping gear and I keep one or two in my car with my winter
survival wear.

Sewn Mittens (free pattern, no knitting necessary) -- This is a cut-and-sew fabric mitten that can easily be made in any
size. It is made from shrunken (felted/fulled) wool sweaters --
check you local thrift store for such a sweater, and if it's not shrunken
enough, then just throw it in the washing machine for a regular cycle or
two using hot water and soap. The mitten can be made from either 2
or 3 pieces of fabric and modified almost endlessly in style.
The mitten's seams can be machine sewn (inside or outside seams)
or baseball-stitched, whip-stitched, or blanket-stitched with yarns.
The mittens can be as crude or as decorative as you want.

Simple Scarves (2 free patterns)--
Here are basic directions for two types of rectangular scarves or
shawls, both of which are reversible (no wrong side) when worked in garter
stitch. They look great in basic yarns or fancy furry or glitzy novelty
yarns. The rectangular patterns can be made in any width or length.
