Knit a chunky rug with the linen stitch in an hour or less! Find the pattern on page 98 of my book, Arm Knitting: 30 home and fashion projects for all your no-needle needs.
Great as a kitchen mat, bath mat or even a place mat! Be creative, use it however you’d like.
If you want it to be thicker simply add another strand or use thicker yarn.
