This is a really cool looking pattern from our buddy Kat over at Just Crafty Enough. She had some lovely yarn left over from a pair of mittens she made and she decided to work up a cowl in Linen Stitch.
If you’ve never worked with this stitch before, it’s really a lot of fun. It make a knit fabric that is dense and almost looks woven. It’s super cool in one color, but it gets even more interesting when worked in two, as she does (actually it looks like more than two because it’s a solid and a variegated yarn, but either way, really cool).
Doesn’t it look like a complex pattern? The actual stitch pattern is just two rounds to remember, though the stripe pattern makes it a little more complex you of course can just change colors whenever you want/remember to.
Have you ever worked with Linen Stitch in two colors? I’d love to hear about it!

Thanks Sarah! I am addicted to linen stitch now.
I have linen stitched but not in two colors! This looks fun!
