This cool hemp belt is a great summer project because it's small, portable and quick to knit. The fun Linen Stitch will keep you entertained whether you're knitting at home, on vacation or somewhere in between.

Best yet, hemp is a greener fiber for yarn because it doesn't require pesticides to flourish like cotton does. And it gets softer the more you wash it. If you haven't tried this great fiber yet, let this be your introduction.
