Linen Stitch

I've been stash-busting in between long stints of working on my entrelac scarf and my mom's vest, and I decided to try the linen stitch for a set of cotton dishcloths. 

Top: right side   Bottom: wrong side

The linen stitch makes a wonderously square piece when worked flat.  

The right side of the work looks woven and is very flat and dense. The wrong side is nicely squishy. 

I love it!

The linen stitch is a two-row pattern over a multiple of two stitches. 

Row 1: K1, Slip as if to purl with yarn in front
Row 2: P1, Slip as if to purl with yarn in back


Try it out!
