Entrelac Knitting Cost: $30.00

Saturday, June 14, 2025 9-11am

Teacher: Tempe Croke

The word “entrelac” comes from the French word “entrelacer” meaning “to interlace’ or “intertwine”. When you see examples of entrelac knitting, you’ll quickly understand where it gets its name! The knitting has the look of interwoven strips, like a basketweave. Don’t be fooled by the complicated appearance - entrelac is much easier to knit than you would think. Learn how as we work on the Entrelac Scarf pattern from Alison LoCicero, a free pattern available on Ravelry.com
