Hi everyone!
Do you know what’s really hard to do on a Monday morning?
Take a good photo of a piece of crochet that curls up like nobody’s business! *breathe in, breathe out*
I really really love entrelac crochet, but BOY does it curl up on you! I am going to block it within an inch of its life when it’s finished, I can tell you that! ;)
But all is well after one look at the progress; you can already see the yarn change colour ever so gradually… Lovely don’t you think? :)
This Tunisian entrelac is actually pretty easy to do, once you get the hang of it. When I started this piece I had to rip back twice and start over thrice because it just wasn’t working! I thought I knew how to do this but I was sooo wrong. But as you can see, I totally get it now ;)
But fear not! Once this piece is finished, I will show you the correct way to do this, and it will be simple and easy to understand with LOTS of photos :) Of course there’s a knit version as well, which my good friend Sarah from Crafts from the Cwtch is making.
So take your pick: are you going to do entrelac the knit way or the crochet way? :)

Entrelac is great with knitting too, but sadly my crochet skills leave a lot to be desired, though I do admire your work!!

I have never tried entrelac crocheting but looks like I might have to try this one of these days!

It looks wonderful! I’ve tried Simply Spiraled Crochet blanket, but I got big holes where I connected, so I gave up. Will be interesting to see how you worked it out!

I know where you come from. I have just started a Tunisian crochet project, and the curling is driving me berserk! That being said, it’s a lovely technique. Can’t wait to see your finished project, I love the colours!

Ooo that looks interesting, I will be stopping by once you are ready to have a go myself. I do love a tutorial with lots of photos, it’s the next best thing to having someone sitting right beside you!

I have just learned to do the entrelac crochet and love it! I’m self taught, so I sure would like to see your tutorial when you can make it happen! Thanks in advance!
