Of all the basic knitting stitches out there, Linen Stitch ranks as one of my favorites. It’s such a fun texture and while it is slower to knit with all that moving of the yarn back and forth, it’s worth it for the almost woven look it gives to projects.
If you want to try it out, this Linen Stitch Pillow from Yarnspirations is a great project to try. I love that it’s worked in an ombre yarn so it looks even more organic than it already would, though you can do it with a solid color if you’d rather.
This bulky project is quick to knit and a cozy accent for your home or dorm room.
