Linen Stitch

The linen stitch is basically a repetition of *ch,sc*, working into the ch-1 space formed by the ch-1’s in the previous row.  You are effectively single crocheting BETWEEN single crochets, giving you a staggered woven look.

Stitches are worked into the ch-1 spaces, NOT the loops of the actual stitches.

One linen stitch = sc + ch into a ch-1 space.  The initial Ch 2 at the beginning of each row counts as a ch-1 space (so one linen stitch).
