This is a super-simple scarf and wrist-warmers set suitable for men or women of any gender (!) and it knits up really quickly.

Possible yarn substitutes: Rowan Yorkshire Tweed Aran, Rowan Scottish Tweed Aran, ggh Samoa, Lion Brand Cotton Ease, or any yarn that knits up at 4 sts per inch (2.5 cm) over stocking stitch. NOTE: the yarn is knit up at a slightly looser tension than stated on the ball band. This is intentional.

NOTE 2: New version uploaded to correct mistake in written instructions for Chess Board pattern. Charts are correct. New version is V3.
