It’s hard to show others how to knit with static pictures, but, at least, people who read this article will have some ideas on entrelac knitting.

I love this Entrelac pattern very much, if you choose two colors to knit this pattern, it will help enhancing its special effect.

Have fun and enjoy this special knitting method!

First of all, the yarn that I chose is multicolor wool from Paton, I know that it’s not perfect for instruction, I hope you won’t mind.

All you need to know for knitting Entrelac are : knit, purl, turn work, and pick up stitches. So, actually, it’s quite easy though.

Because of the copyright, I am afraid I can’t copy the instructions from the book (Scarf Style) .

So, I will ’show and tell’ by using my own pictures only.

After casting on, you will start to knit the first base triangle.

After knitting the triangles, you might feel frustrated about the look of this, yeah, they curl up like this, it’s NORMAL, just neglect it in this moment, everything will flatten again after the 1st row of rectangles.

Working with WS facing, start to pick up the stitch on the selvedge of next triangle. (purl wise)

Here is the picture showing the 8 sts of the selvedge being picked up.

For the last st of the pick up, you need to k2tog with the 1st st of next triangle.

First rectangle is done (from the back)

The 1st row of rectangles are done, now, we need to make the RIGHT triangle next to the last rectangle you finish.

Here is the RIGHT TRIANGLE finished and there is one st left on the needle. Transfer it to right needle, and that st will count as the 1st ‘pick up’ st of next Rectangle.

Here we pick up the sts from the selvedge of next rectangle again.

One rectangle is done.

For the 2nd row of rectangles, we have 4 instead of 3.
Next step: knit the left triangle again. (We did it in the past row.)

Continue to work on tier 1 and 2 until the desire length.
Finish with tier 1 (3 rectangles, 1 right triangle).
Then next step will start the TOP triangles.

This is the picture showing the 4 top triangles on top.
Bind off the last st, that’s it!
