At long last, here is the tutorial on Entrelac! Below you will find a printable guide, with which you can knit a small sample of entrelac fabric. When you feel comfortable with entrelac, you can use the directions here to create your own project. Just substitute the number of stitches in the sample for however many stitches you want to use.
There is also a video demonstrating the small sample you can knit with the entrelac guide. The video is in two parts, each about half an hour long. I show the sample knit from cast on to bind off - how to knit the base or foundation triangles, the right side triangles/rectangles, the left triangles and wrong side rectangles, and finally the bind off triangles.
This tutorial is for knitting entrelac flat. I also have a tutorial for Seamless Entrelac / Entrelac in the Round HERE.
This tutorial is just bare bones entrelac; there are many creative ways to expand on the basic entrelac I show you here. As I mention in the guide, there are a couple of books on Entrelac that I know of (the first one I have), and a Craftsy class on Entrelac. Here are the links:
Hi everyone! I just wanted to take a minute to thank all who stop by and read my little blog. Also, The Weekly Stitch blog too! You may not have noticed, but both blogs are now just a .com, instead of the .blogspot.com!
I will soon be posting a tutorial on entrelac knitting. I will have a free pattern to go along with the tutorial, and a video as well.
I am also working on a couple patterns which will be available for sale in my little area of Craftsy. I am really excited about these ones!
This is just a little tutorial I put together to help you out if you would like to knit something in the round, but aren't sure how to get the stitch pattern to work out. I will be perfectly honest - this is not an easy thing for me! It does take me a little while before I "get it" with some stitch patterns. So, you are not alone if you aren't able to convert stitch patterns easily. I do get a thrill when I finally figure out some of the trickier ones, which is what makes me keep trying different patterns. Practice makes perfect - so don't get discouraged if something doesn't work out the first time. Keep trying!
Of course I did not come up with this information on my own. This all can be found in Barbara Walker's Second Treasury of Knitting, as well as various other places on the web. Also, Margaret Radcliffe has a new book due out in just a few short weeks, called Circular Knitting Workshop: Essential Techniques to Master Knitting in the Round. I pre-ordered this back in December and have been so anxious to get it, I keep checking to see if maybe it will be released sooner! This book is supposed to have information on converting stitch patterns for knitting in the round, which is the reason I want it.
Below are instructions along with a few stitches for you to try out to get your needles going if you have never converted flat to round knitting. You can print this tutorial out so you can have it in your hands - which I find is a lot easier than having to constantly looking at the computer. There is also a free hat pattern using Star Stitch for you to print out too. Last but not least, there is a video briefly going over the tutorial and I will show you the stitches given in the tutorial.
I hope this tutorial is helpful, and that you like the hat pattern. Happy Knitting and Enjoy!
