Entrelac Back and Forth

Explore the woven look of entrelac knitting and learn how to create beautifully textured fabric using connected blocks that build on one another. This class will break down the structure of entrelac and teach you how to knit it efficiently and confidently using the Yarnspirations Dishcloth as a sample to learn.  

Students will learn how to construct entrelac panels, pick up stitches for seamless joins, and shape blocks in multiple directions. A special focus will be on learning to knit backwards—eliminating the need to constantly turn your work and making the process faster and more fluid.

Instructor: Ruth Santos
