Because it knits up so densely you use slightly larger size needle than normal for your chosen yarn.
Use a multiple of 2 stitches. For the wash mitt I cast on 34 stitches in DK cottons and used 5mm needles.

Row 1, Col 1 : K1 *yfwd, sl1pw, ybk K1* last stitch K1
Row 2, Col 1 : K1 *sl1pw, yfwd, p1, ybk* last stitch K1
Row 3, Col 2 : As row 1
Row 4, Col 2 : As row 2
I started the decreases for the top of the mitt when it was six inches long. All a bit experimental, but I'm quite pleased with the result.

I've never tried linen stitch, but I do really like the way it looks. Must find a suitable project myself!
The wash mitt looks great :)
