    I’m so thrilled that you’ve introduced us to the design talents at Knit Circus. I’m most fond of the elegant “Josephine” beaded, fingerless mittens. All the projects are begging to be swiftly knitted up, as fast as needles can fly. Thank you again for the lovely giveaway.

    I love the serendipity earbands… My step mom BOUGHT this headband for a friend (made in China, $25). I actually laid the thing out on a photocopier to try to do it myself I liked it so much, but that’s as far as I got. I sure hope I win!!

    I love the Opposite Shore hat. I have some wonderful handspun that would look lovely in that pattern. And I desperately need a hat now that winter is coming!

    Just stumbled across the mag…. fab! Hard to pick, but I am very taken with the carnival shawl… The colours are amazing, just the thing to cheer you up on a cold grey day.

    I love the Josephine fingerless mitens. Pefect for my cold office in the winter. Also love the socks and adorable flower brouches. I, too, just stumbled across your net mag as I was looking for a project to brighten my soon to experience winter evenings.

Knit a Linen Stitch Hot Pad

Linen stitch is one of my favorite knitting stitch patterns that, every time I use it in a project, I think about how I don’t use it often enough. 

It’s an easy stitch to make, with slip stitches done with the yarn held to the front of the work on the right/front side and to the back on the wrong/back side, which makes the strand of yarn a visible part of the pattern. 

It also makes a fabric that is thick and looks kind of like a woven fabric.

I recently used linen stitch to make a double-thick pot holder, which I worked in a kind of interesting way. I didn’t want to have to do any sewing on the project, so I started it from a crochet cast on and picked up stitches from the side of the cast on to make the hot pad all in one piece in the round with the edge sealed. 

This requires working on two circular needles, which is another technique I don’t use that often and am always reminded how much I like it when I do. 

The combination of double thickness and the stitch pattern makes for a hot pad that’s already pretty thick, but I also added a bit of old towel to the inside before I closed up the end to make it super thick and extra protective for your surfaces. 

I found the engineering challenge of this construction method to be a lot of fun, but you could also just knit it as a tube (casting on twice as many stitches as I did) and sew up the ends by hand when the knitting is done. Either way you’ve got a useful and pretty addition to your kitchen, whether you work it in a solid color, stripes or as a stash busting project will all your cotton odd balls. 

You can grab the pattern over at Our Daily Craft, or check it out on Ravelry.
