I’ve made good progress on the Rail Fence and Friendship Star blocks … just a few more blocks to make and while I should have frogged the Feather and Fan scarf and started over with a different pattern, I started a new blanket instead. The scarf is just not draping well with the yarn/needle combination and luckily I haven’t gotten too far with it. I like the pattern so I will try it again later … maybe with some sock yarn.
- Pattern – Linen Stitch blanket – Pattern came with a BluPrint kit, haven’t been able to find it online.
- Hook size – I
- Yarn – Mandala Ombré – colorway Joy
This may be my new favorite yarn and I’m pretty sure I’m going to need an additional skein for this blanket so I ordered more, a lot more! I’ll cross my fingers and hope the dye lot is similar.

I absolutely LOVE the look out linen stitch!! But in crochet? Magic! If only I had that pattern… and actually could remember how to crochet…
I love this new blanket — both the yarn and stitch. I went to Craftsy and typed in Linen Stitch under Knitting and the pattern is there with photographs.
I like this new blanket – I did the Linen Stitch in corner to corner – very addictive.
I just realized you were crocheting and not knitting. Well Craftsy also has the linen stitch crochet pattern with photos!
I love the colorway….and the stitch. It looks as though it would take a lot of yarn. I have some Mandalay…I must start something. It is beautiful.
That is beautiful!! I just may need to copy you. I like the pattern too!
I love the look of that yarn and stitch! I have some Ombre in Balance (weird color name). Now I can’t wait to use it!
What do you mean by “frogging”? I have done knitting and crochet for years, but I am not familiar with this term. I like your new project.
LOVE those colors!!!!!
