Session 4: How to Knit the Linen Stitch

Linen stitch is created using slipped stitches along with knits and purls. Unlike many other knitted fabrics, the linen stitch fabric creates a firm fabric that doesn’t curl. This feature makes it a great choice for items like scarves and wraps. In this session, Jen Lucas explains how to knit the linen stitch both flat and in the round.
The Linen Stitch is worked in rows over an even number of stitches as follows:
Row 1 (RS): *Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front; repeat from * to end.
Row 2 (WS): *Purl 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in back; repeat from * to end.
Repeat Rows 1 & 2 for pattern.

Round 1: *Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front; repeat form * to last stitch, knit 1.
Round 2: *Slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front, knit 1; repeat from * to last stitch, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front.
