The Entrelac Hat
Tamie Hageland
Friday - February 15 & March 1
6:30pm-8:30pm
Beginner II
$30.00
Demystify Entrelac! While the end result resembles "basket woven" strips of knitted fabric, the process requires no more knowledge than to knit, purl, and pick-up stitches. Instead of working one row of stitches after another, you work row of blocks after another. Use a self striping yarn and the color changes are done for you! Let this pattern by your first adventure into entrelac, and have everyone asking....."How did you do that?"
