The Linen Stitch has a very upscale and classy look. To top things off it is VERY easy to do. Below is a link to a picture, text and video tutorial to help you with a pattern that only requires two steps.

This chance encounter began as I was looking for new stitches for my 50 New Stitches by 2016 Challenge that I plan to start soon. If you don’t know anything about me – know this – I am a stitch hog. In my quest I bumped into this beauty and fell in love. I especially like the fact that it works for both men and women’s wear. Some stitches are just not that versatile. It also has a nice texture that would work well on a dishcloth or wash cloth.

There is also a pattern for an 8×8 square.
