Date: Saturday, March 14th from 1-3 PM
Instructor: Tamara Oechslin
Must be comfortable casting on and off, knitting, purling, doing increases/decreases, and switching colors.
Join Tamara to learn Entrelac knitting, a textured and fun technique that uses stockinette stitch and left/right leaning decreases to create a fabric made of interlocked rectangles that looks more complicated than it really is. Entrelac itself is from the french verb entrelacer for “to interlock, to interweave” and creates a diagonal basketweave that looks like it’s made of many strips, but is just one! Entrelac looks incredible in bags, scarves, blankets, sweaters, and more.
Tamara will lead you through entrelac techniques in this two hour class, and you will create a swatch of your own entrelac stitches during class time. If you would like to continue with a project, Tamara will provide a baby blanket pattern or assist you in choosing a project where you can continue to use this fun technique!
Materials:
50-100 yds of DK or Worsted weight yarn in 2-4 colors
Appropriate needles for your yarn
Here are some examples of patterns where you can use these techniques:
Entrelac Scarf by Allison LoCicero
Lil ‘Lac Sweater by Lindsay Degen
The Landscape Shawl by Martin Up North
