Today's tutorial is on the Knit Linen Stitch. I've used this stitch in my Knit Tyler Slouch Beanie (pattern available soon!). This stitch is super simple to knit with just a 2 round repeat so it's great for beginners! I will provide instructions on working this stitch in the round. Click here or below link to watch the tutorial knitted in rows.
It's important that you make sure your slip stitches are not tight or it'll pull your stitches together.
SUPPLIES:
Yarn. I'm using Knit Pick's Tuff Puff Super Bulky Wool in the video
Appropriate Circular Needles size (or double pointed needles). I'm using 16" Hiya Hiya Brand (US 15 for the super bulky yarn)
Stitch Marker (make your own stitch marker!)
ABBREVIATIONS

INSTRUCTIONS

Your "Linen Stitch in the Round" tutorial was so helpful! I am no longer confused on how to work Row 2, and following. Curious about how you would add a 2nd color to it? I'm guessing you would make the even numbered Rows the 2nd color and leave the odd Rows with the main color?
Thanks, again!
