Linen Stitch

Linen Stitch as instructed in Knit Stitch Guide by Rita Weiss

I have heard of this stitch before, but I've never tried it. I love how tight it is; this swatch is 12 x 12, yet significantly smaller than all my previous swatches. This doesn't mean that it is tight, however, as this pattern still has a decent amount of stretch to it. I can see the woven texture working nicely on a sweater or other garment, but i’d actually like to try this on a blanket!
