Linen Stitch Pot Holder/Dish Cloth
By Tashyy @ Ravelry I love the linen stitch! It's sturdy and nice, it's simple but looks advanced. When working on another project, I started thinking of what it would look like with two colors. The result was this pot holder that can also be used as a dish cloth. Two birds with one stone!
