Linen Stitch Crochet Throw Pattern

Sometimes it’s the simplest crochet stitches and a soft neutral yarn that ends up making a blanket I can fall in love with.

Whenever I’m trying to create a pattern or make something to give as a gift, I often find myself going back to the basics and the stitches I learned early on when I started learning to crochet.

The linen stitch is one of those stitches.

You just can’t beat the texture this stitch creates.

I actually whipped up this blanket way before I released the linen stitch baby blanket with the bobble border, which you can find here. I waited so long to post it because it felt so incredibly simple. And that’s because it is!

But, sometimes a simple pattern is exactly what we makers need, am I right?

Crochet Linen Stitch How-to

I haven’t created any crochet how-to videos in awhile because I’m in the process of moving. And not just to a new place in my town of Austin, TX. Nope, I’m moving to The Big Island in Hawaii.

So, needless to say, things are a little crazy around here! We’re moving in a few weeks, so once I get settled in our condo and find a place to set up my camera, I’ll start shooting some tutorial videos.

But until then…

UPDATE: I’m back in Texas and am filming crochet tutorials again. Here’s a video on how to crochet the linen stitch. Enjoy!

Here are the basics of the crochet linen stitch I shared in another post:

It looks like Lion Brand might be phasing out their Heartland line because I can’t find the color I used for this blanket anywhere. I used Grand Canyon and am so happy with this neutral color.

I was wrong because they’ve restocked all of the gorgeous colors, including Grand Canyon here.

You can find the colors they have left on LionBrand.com here or Amazon.com here.

They do have several neutral colors left like Great Sand Dunes and Dry Tortugas. But this blanket would be gorgeous in any of the available colors.

I fell in love with how soft this yarn is. Plus, being the National Park junkie I am (you can read a little about my full time travels here) I’m obviously drawn to any yarn with a travel or nature theme.

Side note: with my upcoming move to Hawaii, there’s a 100 percent chance you’ll start to see patterns on here inspired by the islands. 🙂 In fact, I already have one Hawaii-inspired blanket called The Aloha Blanket.

The linen stitch creates a beautiful texture and the Lion Brand Heartland yarn makes this a heavier blanket to curl up with when the temps start to drop.
