Dear Sue,
I don't have the book, so I can't check, but I might be able to help anyway.

Whilst, to a lot of us, Linen Stitch and Whole Stitch are the same, in some
lacemaking areas, Whole Stitch is exactly *double* a Half Stitch.   
So, a Half Stitch is worked:  Cross, Twist
Whole Stitch is double that:  Cross, Twist, Cross, Twist  (or, as a lot of us
call it, Whole Stitch and Twist) 
Linen Stitch is:  Cross, Twist, Cross

Hope this helps!!
Regards, Ruth Budge (Sydney, Australia)

i'm getting ready to start Jana Novaks Crib pattern from her Nativity Set. In 
the instructions it says to: "Work with the 19 pairs on linen stitch, 
twisting the workers, between B-B, work 1 row of whole stitch." I looked in the

books that I have and thought that the linen stitch was a different name for
whole 
stitch. I looked in the booklet under the symbols section and there are 
different symbols for whole stitch and linen stitch.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.
