Get Wild with the Tri-Color Linen Stitch
One of my greatest joys is finding a new twist on the classic stitches I already love. The Tri-Color Linen Stitch uses basic stitches with an incredibly easy color change technique to elevate a tried-and-true classic. My tutorial makes things even easier by focusing on a one-row repeat. But be careful – you just might want to make EVERYTHING with this stitch!
