Ribbing has a strong tendency to contract laterally, forming small pleats in which the purl stitches recede and the knit stitches come forward. Thus, ribbing is often used for cuffs, sweater hems and, more generally, any edge that should be form-fitting. The elasticity depends on the number of knit/purl transitions; 1x1 ribbing is more elastic than 2x2 ribbing, etc. However, some cable patterns may "pull in" more than ribbing (i.e., have a smaller gauge); in such cases, a ribbed border may flare out instead of contracting.

Scarf
A scarf is perhaps the simplest knitting project possible. If super bulky yarn is used with 12mm needles, the scarf can be knitted quickly which helps to abate any patience problems your Pathfinders might have.
- Start by casting on 12 stitches.
- Knit every row (forming a garter stitch) until the scarf's length exceeds the knitter's patience.
- Bind off.
Reasonable choices
Here are some reasonable choices you might consider:
- Socks
- There are plenty of free patterns for socks at http://ravelry.com and http://www.lionbrand.com
- Leg warmers
- Leg warmers are nothing more than open tubes. This would be a good project for cabling.
- Draft blocker
- A draft blocker is placed on the floor by a door to prevent drafts. It is a sealed tube filled with some heavy stuffing material (such as florist's pebbles).
- Seat cover
- A seat cover can be used to provide a softer seat on a hard chair.
- Pot holder
- A pot holder is nothing more than a square upon which hot pots may be placed. Be sure to choose a yarn that will not melt (wool or cotton, not acrylic). Do not use a stockinette stitch, as this will cause the finished product to curl unacceptably. Rather, use a garter stitch or ribbing.
