Free pattern: Entrelac Scarf for Beginners from Lisa Shroyer, editor of Knitscene If you’re new to entrelac and need a basic pattern to get started, you’re in luck! I just started an easy scarf and thought it would make a great beginner entrelac project. I made up the instructions based on Eunny Jang’s Beyond the Basics article on entrelac, so if you have that article, following the pattern will be a good exercise.You’ll see I haven’t finished the scarf, but it’s such a quick knit I should be able to complete it before the weather changes here in the Northeast. Enjoy!Download Lisa’s Easy Entrelac Scarf Pattern . And a final entrelac tip from Lisa: When picking up stitches along the selvedge of a block, try to pick up the first and last stitches as close to the ends of the block as possible—i.e., pick up stitches in the “corners” as much as possible, to avoid holes in those corners between blocks.
For those already in love with entrelac, you can purchase Eunny’s Entrelac Socks and Sandy Beadle’s Annetrelac Socks from the Interweave Pattern Store. — Lisa Shroyer Ask for Knitscene at your local yarn shop, or buy it online from us.
