Learn to Knit Cuff
Lion Brand® Wool-Ease® Thick & Quick®
GAUGE:
About 9 stitches = 4 in. (10 cm) in Garter stitch (knit every row). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
CUFF (make 2) Cast on 15 stitches.
Work in Garter stitch (knit every stitch on every row) until piece measures about 8 1/2 in. (21.5 cm) from beginning.
Bind off, leaving a long yarn tail.
FINISHING Fold knit piece in half. Thread yarn tail into blunt needle. Sew sides of Cuff together for about 2 in. (5 cm). Leave next 1 in. (2.5 cm) unsewn for thumb opening, then seam remainder of sides.
Weave yarn ends into inside (wrong side) of Cuff.

This is the second knitting project I have ever made besides a large square. It is very satisfying to be able to actually make something even for those who don't know how to read a pattern yet.
I made two pairs in the fig color. I didn't realize until I finished the second pair, that you are supposed to turn them inside out so the seam doesn't show.
True beginners don't know this already.
