Linen stitch knitted

This is an easy knitted dense texture that is great for scarfs, bags and maybe especially interior designs, like table runners, place mats, potholders, wash cloths etc.
Also great used as edge sts on garments where you don't want the bottom edge or front edges to roll...
Towards the end of video we also show how interesting the colorwork comes out working 2 rows alternately with 2 different colors.

Cast on an even number of sts. Work 1 edge st each side in garter st (K on every row).
1st row (WS): K1 (edge st), *P1, slip 1 purl-wise with yarn in back (from you)*, repeat *-*, end with K1.
2nd row (RS): K1 (edge st), *K1, slip 1 purl-wise with yarn in front (towards you)*, repeat *-*, end with K1.
Repeat row 1 and 2. When binding off, works still in pattern as you slip next to last st worked on right needle over last st worked.

Den foerste pind med groen strikkes med vrangmasker og garnet bagom - den foerste pind med hvid strikkes med retmasker og garnet foran. Hvordan gaar det op, hvis der skal strikkes to pinde i hver farve - burde den foerste hvide saa ikke starte som vrangmasker?

Ich würde gerne im Leinenmuster eine kleine Decke von Ecke zu Ecke stricken. Wie nehme ich entsprechend am besten am Rand (jeweils Reihenbeginn) zu bzw. ab, ohne das Muster zu unterbrechen und einen sauberen Rand zu erhalten?

DROPS Design :

Liebe Kate, damit haben wir leider keine Erfahrung, am besten versuchen Sie mit Ihrer Maschenprobe, Sie können entweder 2 Maschen jeweils zunehmen/anschlagen (so können Sie immer das Muster auf alle Maschen stricken), oder je 1 Masche aber dann stricken Sie die neuen Maschen zuerst entweder links oder rechts (wie die anderen Maschen) bis jeweils 2 neuen Maschen sind. Viel Spaß beim stricken!

Je suis sur un top avec ce point tissé, j'ai des erreurs . Je dois défaire des rang , comment rattraper la maille glisse sans se trompe ( j'aurai dû mettre un fil de survie ) Comment le mettre àpres coup ? Sur du jersey, c'est ok mais là ?

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Julie, essayez de repérer vos mailles, elles sont en jersey mais tricotées alternativement 1 rang sur 2, avec le fil devant l'ouvrage sur les rangs non tricotés. (Un ajustement a été fait au 1er rang, le fil doit être derrière l'ouvrage = côté endroit quand on tricote sur l'envers). Bon tricot!

Ik ben een rok in linnensteek aan het breien, in ronden, met 2 kleuren. Hoe kan ik zonder het patroon te doorbreken, minderingen uitvoeren? Ik heb al van alles geprobeerd, maar het lukt me niet.. Alvast dank voor uw reactie!

DROPS Design :

Dag Maggie,

Omdat de linnensteek uit een herhaling van steeds 2 steken bestaat is het eigenlijk niet mogelijk om 1 steek te minderen midden in het patroon, zonder het patroon te doorbreken. Je zou deze steek dan recht of averecht moeten breien, totdat je aan de volgende mindering toe bent, waarna je het patroon weer op kunt pakken.

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned... the written instructions and the video do not match up. The video is the correct way, holding the yarn on the proper side when slipping stitches per each row. :) Thank you for the video! It was perfect!

Lærte dette gamle mønster af min svigermor i 1975. Hun var født 1886 og havde lært det af sin mor som 10 årig. Der blev strikket puder i striber som olmerdug. Mønsteret var dengang kendt som "vævestrik"

Etwas ganz besonderes entsteht, wenn in der Runde anstatt in Reihen gestrickt wird. Immer nur die "Hinreihe" also. Maschenmarkierer nicht vergessen! Zwei Runden Farbe A und dann eine Runde Farbe B. Ergebnis: Punktemuster in Farbe B auf einem Grund in Farbe A.

Ein sehr schönes Muster entsteht, wenn man mit 3 Farben strickt und nach jeder Reihe wechselt. Am Ende einer Reihe hängt immer der Faden der nächste Farbe und kann zum Weiterstricken aufgenommen werden.
