ntrelac is a knitting technique that produces a fabric with a woven appearancetiers of tilting blocks appear to run over
and under each other. But the fabric is actually worked all in one piece as a series of interconnecting rectangles. Also called
patchwork knitting, basketweave knitting, or birch-bark patterning, entrelac can stand on its own in garter or stockinette
stitch, or it can provide an interesting framework for other texture or color-work techniques.
See the sock pattern on page 30.
WORKING ENTRELAC IN FLAT KNITTING

Basic principles
Entrelac fabrics series of tilted blocks are worked one at a time
in tiers. Within a tier, blocks are worked in the same direction,
either right to left or left to right. Each tier of blocks builds
upon the one below it. Individual blocks are worked by picking
up stitches along the selvedge of a block from the tier below
and working stitches of the growing block together with live
stitches from the top edge of the next block below. To produce
a piece with straight rather than pointed edges across the bottom
and top, the first and last tiers must consist of rows of triangular
half-blocks. For straight vertical edges, every other tier of a flatworked entrelac piece begins and ends with a triangle.
Individual blocks may be worked over any number of
stitches, and a piece may have any number of individual blocks.
In all cases, each block contains twice as many rows as it does
stitches.
Though the basic entrelac technique has several variations,
the following method produces tidy results. When you practice
entrelac for the first time, try working every other tier of blocks
in a different color to emphasize the basketweave effect and
make it easier to identify the blocks and live stitches of each
tier. Note: When you work the first stitch of every row, you can
slip it for a tidy pick-up edge, but be aware that you will lose
some elasticity in the knitted piece.
Base triangles (RS facing to begin)

Cast on 24 sts (or use any multiple of 8, the number of sts in each
block in this sampler), using a loose cast-on such as the knitted
cast-on (see page 7).
Row 1: (RS) K2, turn.
Row 2: (WS) P2, turn.
Row 3: K3, turn.
Row 4: P3, turn.
Row 5: K4, turn.
Row 6: P4, turn.
Row 7: K5, turn.
Row 8: P5, turn.
Row 9: K6, turn.
Row 10: P6, turn.
Row 11: K7, turn.
Row 12: P7, turn.
Row 13: K8, do not turn. The first base triangle has been
completed.
With the RS still facing, the right selvedge edge of the just-worked
triangle forms the right side of the triangle, the 8 live sts on the
needle form the left side, and the cast-on row forms the base.
Repeat Rows 113 until all cast-on stitches have been worked.
If you began with 24 sts, there will be three 8-st triangles on the
needle (Figure 1). Note: All figures show knitting with needle
removed.
Figure 1
First tier of blocks (WS facing to begin)

Turn the work so the WS is facing. This tier and every other tier
of blocks begins and ends with a half-block, or side triangle, at
each edge to maintain a straight selvedge. The live sts from each
base triangle will be joined to the growing blocks of the new tier
by working the last st of the new block on WS rows together
with a live st from a block in the previous tier.
If youre changing color on this row, purl the first st with both
strands of yarn to secure them, then snip the old color.
First side triangle

Row 2: (RS) K1, M1 (see page 7), k1, turn.
Row 3: P2, p2tog, turn.
Row 4: K2, M1, k1, turn.
Row 13: P7, k2tog, do not turn. The first side triangle has been
completed; leave the sts on the needle.
Continue row with blocks
*With WS still facing, pick up and purl 8 sts along the selvedge
of the triangle (or the block on subsequent tiers) now between
the needles, working from the tip to the base of the triangle.
Turn work so RS is facing.
Row 2: (WS) P7, p2tog, turn.
Rows 316: Rep Rows 1 and 2 seven more times but do not turn
work after completing Row 16. All live sts from the base triangle
have been decreased away. The first whole block of this tier has
been completed; leave the sts on the needle. If you started with
24 cast-on sts, repeat from * once more to complete the second
full block of this tier.
Second side triangle
With WS still facing, pick up and purl 8 sts along the selvedge
of the new block now between the needles, picking up from tip
to base of the triangle or block of the previous tier. Turn work
so RS is facing.
Row 3: K7, turn.
Row 5: K6, turn.
Row 7: K5, turn.
Row 9: K4, turn.
Row 11: K3, turn.
Row 13: K2, turn.
Row 14: P2tog, turn, and slip last st to the right needle. The
second side triangle has been completed: 25 sts total, two full
blocks of 8 sts each, one first side triangle of 8 sts, one second
side triangle of 1 st (Figure 2).
Figure 2
Second tier of blocks (RS facing to begin)

This tier consists of all full blocks.

*With RS facing and 1 st on the right needle, pick up and knit
7 sts along the selvedge now between the needles, picking up

st remaining on the needle from the side triangle counts as your
first picked-up st, so you need to pick up and knit only 7 sts to
have 8 sts for working the first block. Pick up 8 sts for all the
remaining blocks. Turn work so WS is facing.
Row 2: (RS) K7, ssk (see page 7), turn.
Rows 316: Rep Rows 1 and 2 seven more times but do not
turn work after completing Row 16. All live sts from the block

If you want to continue to knit straight up from your entrelac

section rather than ending it with the last row of top triangles as
above, work the last tier of triangles as follows to create a straight
horizontal line of live sts at the top of the entrelac section.
*With RS facing, pick up and knit 7 sts along the selvedge
now between the needles, picking up sts from tip to base of
the blocks from the previous tier. Note: Again, the st remaining on the needle from the previous triangle counts as your
first picked-up st, so you need to pick up and knit only 7 sts to
have 8 sts for working each top triangle. Work these triangles
using short-rows (see page 7) as indicated below, working each
wrapped st together with its wrap as you come to it. Turn work
so WS is facing.
Row 3: P7, wrap next st, turn.
Row 16: Ssk, do not turn. The first top triangle has been completed: 7 wrapped sts plus the last st are on the right needle. If you
started with 24 cast-on sts, repeat from * twice more24 live sts
on needle. Work wraps together with sts on next row.
Because the entrelac blocks lie on the diagonal, the number of sts
along an edge of an entrelac piece doesnt make an edge of the same
length as knitting. Therefore, youll need to increase sts on the following row to the number needed to produce a piece the same width
as the entrelac section.
WORKING ENTRELAC IN THE ROUND
Entrelac may also be worked as a continuous circular tube of

fabric. Although the result is a seamless tube, the tiers of blocks
are worked back and forth, just as in flat entrelac. However, no side
triangles are neededinstead, the first block of each row is started
in a different manner to join the round.
Begin by casting on a multiple of 8 sts that will fit around your
circular needle or double-pointed needles.
Base triangles (RS facing)

Work the same as for entrelac knitted flat. Do not turn at the end
of the last row. Prepare to join for working in the round with the
RS facing, being careful not to twist.
First tier of blocks in the round (RS facing to

begin, then WS facing)
First block
With RS facing, pick up and knit 8 sts along the selvedge now
between the needles, picking up from base to tip of the triangle
(Figure 5) (or the block on subsequent tiers) from the previous tier.
Turn work so WS is facing.
Rows 415: Rep Rows 2 and 3 six more times, but do not turn work
after completing Row 15. All sts from block of previous tier have

been decreased away. Do not turn.
Remaining blocks
Work the blocks for the rest of this tier as for flat entrelac, picking
up sts from tip to base with the WS facing and omitting the second
side triangle. Do not turn at the end of the tier.
Second row of blocks (WS facing to begin, then

RS facing)
First block
With WS facing, pick up and purl 8 sts along the selvedge now
between the needles, picking up from base to tip of the block from
the previous tier. Turn work so RS is facing.
Row 1: (RS) K7, ssk, turn.
Rows 415: Rep Rows 2 and 3 six more times, but do not turn work
after completing Row 15. All sts from block of previous tier have
been decreased away. Work the blocks for the rest of this tier as
for flat entrelac, picking up sts with the RS facing. Do not turn at
the end of the row.
Repeat the last two tiers as many times as desired and end by completing a tier that began with WS facing (same as the second round
of blocks).
Top triangles
Work as for entrelac knitted flat, picking up for the first triangle as
for the first tier of blocks worked in the round.

Notes
This scarf is a great first entrelac project. You can
use any chunky-weight yarn, or even go down to a
worsted weight (for a narrower version).
In this project, you will pick up stitches on both the
right and wrong sides. You may need to practice picking up and purling stitches if youre not used to this
method.
When picking up stitches, use a half stitch or one full
stitch selvedge. This means pick up your stitches
from the bar in the middle of the first stitch along the
selvedge, or in the trough between the first and second stitches along the selvedge. Keeping your pickup locations consistent throughout the pick-up and
throughout the project will ensure a neat look.

Row 13: P7, p2tog, do not turnfirst side triangle completed; 8 sts on right needle.
With WS still facing, look at the base triangle now
attached to the completed side triangle. The right-hand
side of the base triangle is attached to the side triangle,
while the left-hand side of the base triangle is free. You
will now pick up sts along this left-hand edge of the
base triangle. With WS still facing, starting at the tip
of the base triangle and working down to the CO edge,
evenly pick up and purl 8 sts down the selvedge of the
base triangle (see Notes)16 sts total on right needle
and 16 sts on left needle. In the block youre about to
work, you will join the new picked-up sts with the sts
of the middle base triangle with p2togs, just as you
joined the side triangle to the first base triangle. Turn
work so RS is facing.
Odd Rows 1-15: (RS) K8, turn.
Even Rows 2-14: (WS) P7, p2tog, turn.
Row 16: (WS) P7, p2tog, do not turnfirst block completed; 16 sts on right needle, 8 sts of last base triangle on left needle.
With WS still facing, look at the middle base triangle.
The first block is joined to the right-hand edge of the
base triangle, while the left-hand edge of the base
triangle is free. With WS still facing, starting at the tip
of the base triangle and working down to the CO edge,

base triangle24 sts total on right needle and 8 sts on
left needle. Turn work so RS is facing and work Rows
1-16 as for first blocksecond block completed; 24 sts
on right needle, no sts on left needle. It may look like
this tier is complete, but you still need to work a second
side triangle. With WS still facing, look at the last base
triangle on the left-hand side. The second block is
joined to its right-hand edge, while the left-hand edge
of the base triangle is free. With WS still facing, starting
at the tip of the base triangle and working down to
the CO edge, evenly pick up and purl 8 sts down the
selvedge of the base triangle32 sts now on right
needle. Turn work so RS is facing.

Tier 2: (all blocks, no side triangles)
Tier 1 created right-slanting blocks; Tier 2 will create
left-slanting blocks (when viewed from the RS). With
RS still facing, look at the side triangle just completed.
Its left-hand edge is free. You will now pick up and knit
sts along this selvedge. With RS still facing and 1 st on
right needle, starting at tip of side triangle and working
downwards, pick up and knit 7 sts along the selvedge of
the side triangle8 sts total on right needle (including
1 st rem from side triangle). Turn so WS is facing.

**With RS still facing, look at the block below your
needle tips, worked on Tier 1. The block you just
completed is joined to the top of this block, while the
left-hand edge of the block is free. You will now pick
up and knit sts along this selvedge. With RS still facing,
pick up and knit 8 sts along the block, from top to
bottom. Turn so WS is facing. Work Rows 1-16 as for first

BODY OF SCARF:
Turn so WS is facing. Rep Tier 1, picking up sts along

blocks instead of base triangles. Then Rep Tier 2. This
scarf alternates tiers of right-slanting blocks with side
triangles and tiers of left-slanting blocks with no side
triangles. As you work, you'll see that the side triangles
on every other tier are necessary to create flush edges
at either side of the scarf. If you did not work side
triangles, your scarf would have zigzag edges. Work
Tiers 1 and 2 until you reach 2" less than desired length
and have several yards of yarn left. Work Tier 1 once
more, to end with a tier with side triangles.
ENDING SCARF:
Top Triangles:
You must have ended with a Tier 1 to work the top
triangles. With RS still facing and 1 st on right needle,
pick up and knit 7 sts down the selvedge of the side
triangle just completed8 sts on right needle. Turn so
WS is facing.

FINISHING
Weave in ends. Block as desired and as appropriate

for yarn. The scarf shown was not blocked. Blocking
entrelac, especially pinning and ironing it, will flatten
out its three-dimensional surface. Some people like the
smooth, flat look of blocked entrelac; others like the
puffed and quilted look of non-blocked entrelac. Decide
which look you like best before you block your scarf.
With time and wear, your scarf will naturally flatten out
a bit. -

Felting: Thread a strand of cotton yarn
through the eyelets at the top of the pouch.

Tie the ends of the cotton yarn tog but do
not cinch the top of the pouch. Place pouch
in a zippered pillowcase and then place the
pillowcase in a washing machine with a clean
pair of jeans. Use the machines lowest and
hottest water setting and a small amount of
mild detergent. Rep the agitation cycle until
individual sts are no longer visible. Because
this is a small project, it may be necessary to
run the agitation cycle several times before
the pouch is fully felted. Remove the pouch
from the washing machine and rinse it in
cold water. Place it over an appropriately
shaped object and allow it to dry completely.

Drawstring: Holding two strands of yarn
tog, make a twisted cord (see Glossary) about

24" long. Fold the drawstring in half. Pull
the folded end through the bead, then attach
the folded end to the key ring using a larks
head knot (see below). Remove the cotton
yarn and thread the ends of the drawstring
through the eyelet holes (each end through
four eyelets). Tie the loose ends of the drawstring tog using a secure, decorative knot
such as a lanyard knot.

short-rows: Wrapping a stitch

Work to turn point, slip next stitch purlwise to right needle. Bring
yarn to front (Figure1). Slip same stitch back to left needle (Figure
2). Turn work and bring yarn in position for next stitch, wrapping
the stitch as you do so. Note: Hide wraps in a knit stitch when right
side of piece is worked in a knit stitch. Leave wrap if the purl stitch
shows on right side. Hide wraps as follows: Knit stitch: On right side,
work to just before wrapped stitch. Insert right needle from front,
under the wrap from bottom up, and then into wrapped stitch as
usual. Knit them together, making sure new stitch comes out under
wrap. Purl stitch: On wrong side, work to just before wrapped stitch.
Insert right needle from back, under wrap from bottom up, and put
on left needle. Purl them together.

Twisted Cord
Cut several lengths of yarn about five times the desired
finished cord length. Fold the strands in half to form two
equal groups. Anchor the strands at the fold by looping
them over a doorknob. Holding one group in each hand,
twist each group tightly in a clockwise direction until they
begin to kink. Put both groups in one hand, then release
Figure 1 Figure 2 them, allowing them to twist around each other counterclockwise. Smooth out the twists so that they are uniform
along the length of the cord. Knot the ends.

shrug
by Eunny Jang
Worked from side to side, this shrug grows by increasing the size of
the entrelac units from the cast-on to the center, where stitches are
bound off for one front side. Stitches are cast on for the other front
side, and the entrelac units are decreased to the original stitch count.
The finished shrug resembles a paper lantern or a globe hinged at the
equator.
Finished Size
33 (37, 41)" (84 [94, 104] cm). Sample
shown measures 33" (84 cm).
Yarn
DK weight (Light #3). Shown here: Rowan
Felted Tweed (50% merino, 25% alpaca,
25% viscose; 191 yd [175 m]/50 g): 3 (4,
4) balls. Yarn distributed by Westminster
Fibers.
Needles
Size 5 (3.75 mm): 24" (60 cm) circular (cir)
and set of double-pointed needles (dpn).
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain
the correct gauge.
Notions
Markers (m); scrap yarn for stitch holders.
Gauge
22 sts and 24 rows = 4" (10 cm) in St st.
Notes
This shrug is worked from armhole
to armhole using the circular entrelac
technique.
The shrug consists of two mirrored sides
which are joined by a tier at center back.
The rectangles in each tier are one stitch
larger (or smaller) than the previous tier.
Change from double-pointed needles
to a circular needle when necessary to
accommodate the growing number of
stitches.

For more details about this technique, download Eunny Jangs tutorial
at knittingdaily
.com/media/p/24512.aspx.
In entrelac, the edges are often slipped on the joining edge. In this
design, we work all edge stitches, which yields better stretch in the
fabric.
When picking up stitches, there will be fewer holes in the fabric if
you pick up stitches as close to the corner as possible.
Change skeins/colors at the beginning of a square/triangle to avoid
abrupt color changes in the middle of the square/triangle.
After each square is finished, place stitches on holder. Transfer
stitches back to left needle as they are needed.
Upper BodY
With the invisible provisional method (see Glossary), CO 70 (80, 90,

100, 110, 120) sts loosely. Do not join. Note: This CO edge becomes
the long (bias) edge of the first row of triangles and will need to stretch
quite a bit. Since it is a provisional CO and you will replace it later, its
better to err slightly on the side of too loose, rather than too tight.
Also, using waste yarn in a contrasting color (but similar gauge) will
make it easier to identify and remove provisional sts when you are
finishing.

Using spare dpns, pick up the purl bump
on the WS of each st in cuff Rnd 1 by slipping the needle into each bump; these sts
are just picked up, not picked up and knit-
ted. Fold the cuff in half along the fold line,

with the needles holding the live sts of Rnd
20 in front, and the spare needles with the
picked-up sts in back84 sts on each set
of needles. BO sts tog as foll: K2tog (1st st

1st st on right needle and yo both over the
last st worked; rep from * to end. Break yarn
and fasten off last st.
Left Stocking
Work as for right stocking until Rnd 5 of
cuff has been completed. Identify the purl
column closest to the center of the outside
of the left leg (halfway between center front
and center back) and mark this column of
sts; this should be on the opposite side of
the leg from the right stocking. Work Rnds
620 and complete as for right stocking.
finiShing
Weave in ends. Tassels: Make 4 tassels,
2 each in MC and CC, as foll: Wrap yarn
40 times around a piece of cardboard at least
3" tall, then with another strand of yarn tie
loops tightly at top (tassel head). Cut
loops at bottom edge of cardboard. Wrap
yarn tightly around all strands about 12"
down from the top (tassel neck). Trim
loose ends even. Twisted cord: Cut four 90"
strands of yarn, two each in MC and CC.
Make two twisted cords (see box), each
containing one strand of each color. Thread
end of cord on tapestry needle and thread
through cuff as foll: Enter the cuff from outside of stocking through left outer eyelet,
weave cord in and out of inner eyelet holes
around top of stocking, and exit the cuff
through the right outer eyelet. Sew a MC
tassel to one end of cord and CC tassel to
other end. Rep for second stocking. Block
lightly, if desired. Tie cords as shown.

twist each group tightly in a clockwise direction
until they begin to kink. Put both groups in one
hand, then release them, allowing them to twist
around each other counterclockwise. Smooth
out the twists so that they are uniform along the
length of the cord. Knot the ends.
