Notes

1 strand white
Gauge 22 sts - 4”
32 rows - 4”
Sides sewn from inside
Polyester filled and sc along top edge (4mm hook)

my working:
Cast on 80
Linen stitch worked throughout
Side 1 - Knit in linen stitch (using a 3 colour repeat) till square
Side 2 - Knit in black only till I’d used up what yarn was left on the ball. Decided to change colour to grey, then added a few rows of white to finish.
Bind off using k1, s1

After finishing I also really like the colour block side especially the effect of the marled grey portion and would love to knit this colour or something similar into a jacket. I really love linen stitch and how the effect resembles a woven fabric. Linen stitch knits completely flat and has little directional give.
Pompoms added.
