Linen stitch is one slipped stitch and one movement of the yarn, and you only ever hold one colour at a time, so there is less going on than the finished fabric suggests. The one thing worth knowing before you start is that it cannot be unpicked by pulling the needle out, so a mistake means tinking back one stitch at a time.
