This video will show you the linen stitch worked in rows, and explain how to knit the linen stitch in rounds as well.

Written instructions with photos:

Abbreviations:

[ ] – work step in brackets number of times indicated

Pattern in rows:
Co an even number
Row 1: [Slip 1 purl wise with yarn in front, k1] across.
Row 2: [Slip 1 purl wise with yarn in back, p1] across.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 to desired length.

Pattern in rounds:
