Thanks sooo much!! I’ve taught myself entrelac, but this way I’ll at least have a video that let’s me know exactly how to do it and whether or not I’ve been doing it right!!
Have a great Christmas!!

I just want to tell you that I love you!!!! I just decided the other day to take on Entrelac and here is a tutorial. I’ve bought 2 of your patterns and I’ll buy more. I’m such a big fan!
Merry Christmas.
Ps. I’m a beginning (little) knitter but when I grow up to be an advanced (big) knitter I wanna be just like you!

Ohhhh Staci…I know that it is Christmas and all but I must say that every time I get an email from you, I’m like a kid on Christmas morning that just received the best gift ever!! You are soooo appreciated and respected. Lots of love and have a great Christmas. xo

this looks like the project that will get me started on Entrelac. Thank you for the tutorial.
Comment by Maureen E. Donovan-McLaughlin — December 22, 2011 @ 6:29 pm
Thank you! I have always shied away from enterlac because it looks sooo complicated. You did a wonderful job explaining the technique. I am looking forward to making the scarf.
Comment by Sheryl — December 22, 2011 @ 6:42 pm
Oh I just saw Entrelac demonstrated on a TV show last week and I was captivated. Thank you for this tutorial, I was having a bit of difficult time trying to get it from just written instruction. I’ll be off and running thanks to your help. And what a nice free design to begin with.
Comment by Annalee — December 22, 2011 @ 9:51 pm
I made an Entrelac scarf (possibly the same pattern) last year also in Noro, it seems that yarn is meant for Entrelac! It’s a slow process, but very rewarding. I’m glad you showed how to do it, I don’t know how many people told me they were too scared to even try it!
Merry Christmas Staci, to you, your family and to all your furry housemates!

Sooooo fantastic!!!!thank you so much,can’t wait to watch and start!!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Comment by Robin — December 23, 2011 @ 8:15 pm
Thank you so much for this tutorial, i have been at it every free moment!! The video is very clear and easy to follow and i picked it up right away and love it
Im now wondering if you would be able to follow up with something showing how to do the pattern with knitting in both directions, negating the need to turn the work? I have read it is possible and makes the entrelac much quicker to knit but cant find any instructions on how to do it.
Thanks again,
Jac
Comment by Jac — December 23, 2011 @ 10:43 pm
Another great video. Thanks Staci.
I was wondering if you cold show how to do entrelac in the round.
I love this technique and want to make a bag now in the round.
Comment by Grace Mae~ — December 24, 2011 @ 8:37 am
I agree – another great tutorial.
Thank you, Staci, and Merry Christmas !
Comment by Pammie — December 24, 2011 @ 2:03 pm
Wow. I can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much, again, for all your efforts to help all along with that wonderful thing we call knitting! I probably would have never tried this as it looked to difficult. It is on my list of knitting projects now. Hope you had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Comment by Terri — December 26, 2011 @ 8:20 am
This is the pattern I use as a base for my entrelac! I’m working on enterlac in the round now
Anyone afraid, don’t be! Entrelac is addictive knitting at its best :^)
Comment by Strix — December 26, 2011 @ 2:50 pm
Thank you Staci for the BEST Christmas gift! I’ve been wanting to learn Entrelac.
Thank you, thank you!
Comment by Judy — December 26, 2011 @ 3:17 pm
Staci, can you tell me where I can buy some of this long strand variegated yarn?? my local craft store dont carry it.
Comment by Tonya Nely — December 27, 2011 @ 11:16 am
Hi Tonya – you can find the yarn that is recommended for the Entrelac Scarf online at Jimmy Beans Wool. They carry really beautiful colorways -

Staci,
I just wanted to add myself to your list of grateful students. I had my first knitting lesson 9 months ago and was instantly hooked. Recently, I’ve bought your “Learn to knit….” patterns for the Christmas Stocking and the Amirah Fingerless Gloves. And, like someone said above, you have become my very own personal tutor. Your videos are just wonderful! So, I’m thrilled to see the new Entralac videos! Thank you so much for what you do!
Comment by Crystal — December 31, 2011 @ 11:53 am
I was wondering if this could be made big enough for a blanket?? Its such a pretty design and thought it would make a pretty blanket.
Comment by Tonya Nely — January 2, 2012 @ 9:10 pm
Hi Tonya – yes, you can easily make this wide enough for a blanket. Just make sure you’re casting on a multiple of 8, and you can make it any width.

I am new to knitting. My mother tried to get me interested when I was younger. Unfortunately I wasn’t ready to learn. My mom has been gone for about six years now. I heard her small voice in my head over Christmas break “ready yet?”. I found a simple dishcloth video to start with. I fell in love with it and want to do more. Your entrelac is so beautiful that I am determined to learn. I have almost memorized the video. You are wonderful. I am almost 60 and feel like a teenager when doing this. Thank you for enhancing my life and also fulfilling a dream for my mom!
Comment by Vickey Perry — January 10, 2012 @ 8:57 pm
Hi Staci! I have been wanting to do Domino(Modular) Knitting. Would it be a problem to come up with a tutorial for Domino Knitting? Oh by the way, I really enjoyed this Entrelac pattern. You are the BEST and MOST-TALENTED KNITTER!! I really enjoy your patterns and tutorials. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! HUGS>>>>>
Comment by Robin Watchous — January 12, 2012 @ 1:17 am
Thanks for sharing this tutorial! I started this scarf on Friday, posted a picture on my Facebook page. It is so easy once you know the basics!
Comment by Melinda — January 23, 2012 @ 9:01 am
Great video! I’ve admired entrelac for so long, but didn’t think I could pick up all the stitches required. This is so helpful and I have be beginnings of a scarf that I am so excited about!
Comment by Mary — January 23, 2012 @ 5:40 pm
Is there a yarn similar to the noro silk garden that is less expensive,I want to do a test pattern first. By the way the video was just great, very helpful and professional. You made it much easier than I thought it would be. Thank you so much!!!!
Carol
Comment by carol — February 1, 2012 @ 8:17 pm
I too was wondering if there was a different yarn similar to to Noro Silk Garden. Altho beautiful , way more than i could afford. Also I was wondering if you could use a different weight of yarn that is still self striping.
Comment by Virginia Scott — February 3, 2012 @ 12:29 pm
Is there a way to find out the name of the yarn that the lady was useing who was teaching in the video. I heard her say she was not useing Noro but couldnt remember the name of the yarn she was using. Thank you
Comment by Virginia Scott — February 3, 2012 @ 12:30 pm
Hi Virginia – in the video, I’m using a yarn called “Classic Shades” by a company called Universal Yarns. It’s an inexpensive alternative to Noro yarns.

I have tried entrelac knitting before and always got abit confused. I am left handed and the end triangles always messed me up(always thinking I have to reverse pattern). Your tutorial and the pattern, helped me figure it out, duh
. So thank-you very much.
Comment by bf — June 19, 2012 @ 11:56 am
You are amazing!! Your videos are exciting, and even for long-time knitters they are thrilling and enlightening!!!
Comment by Sonya Federman — June 25, 2012 @ 8:47 am
A question…When the pattern, and you, say to “…pick up and purl 8 sts…” (in row 1 of middle squares of Tier 1)…what I am seeing is that you pick 8 sts, but you are not purling them in the video. Then you knit the next row. Where does the “purl” come in…or where did it go??
(Similarly, in row 1 of Tier 2, the pattern says to “…pick up and knit 8 sts…You, in the video, pick up 8 sts, but you do not knit them. Then you purl the next row. Where did the knit come in…or go??)
What I have been doing (incorrectly, maybe??) is that I pick up a stitch with my right needle, slip it to my left needle, then I either purl it, or knit it, depending on whether it said to pick up and purl, or pick up and knit. (I do the next rows just as you do them.)
I went to a Tutorial for “Picking up and knitting stitches” and it did what you did, so you are not alone. What I do not understand is why say “pick up and knit” if you do not knit? Why not just say “pick up 8 stitches? What am I missing??
Comment by Mary — June 26, 2012 @ 8:20 am
Best tutorial I’ve seen. I started charity knitting after having to give up wood working because of nerve damage in my hands. Been wanting to try entrelac. Don’t feel so intimidated now.
Comment by Pat Ohlsen — June 29, 2012 @ 11:05 am
Hey, okay I just found this video, or I was afraid to open it up. I am going to learn how to do this. I finished the green pullover sweater, wow, I am so proud of YOU and ME. I have been so busy now reinforcing my socks. My question is I do the I guess you call it traditional sock pattern cuff down which, the heel flap is done in a eye of the partridge pattern. Do I still need to reinforce this heel flap? I have been so busy, Thanks to all of your wonderful tutorials, I have never been so happy with my knitting. Big Thanks to all of your hard work, that makes it so much easier for all of us out here.Thank You
Comment by Joanne Cavallone Corse — July 8, 2012 @ 5:05 pm
Thanks for posting the free tutorial and pattern for the entrelac scarf. I just shared it on Facebook so that my fans can see how easy this technique is for doing stunning colourwork. This is my first time at your site. I got here from your You-Tube video, and I must say your site is clean and easy to navigate. It is full of vibrant creativity, too. I will definitely be back.

Comment by Joybilee Farm — July 13, 2012 @ 9:41 pm
Somewhere I posted that it took me about 4 decades to attempt entrelac. It was that scary for me.
Then I found the above pattern and website and YouTube and got my fingers moving. Frogging occurred but that’s good – it’s a wonderful teacher.
I will say that I was dumbfounded at how easy entrelac actually is to do!!
Therefore, be not afraid, my gentle snowflakes (as Lewis Black says) and go forth and have fun.
Thank you to all who helped me to learn and enjoy entrelac.
Comment by Marny CA — July 14, 2012 @ 11:23 pm
Thank you for this tutorial. It really helped me to get the hang of the basics. I do have a question though. How would you switch colors if you are using a different color for each tier? I’ve been looking all over for help in this.
Comment by Sheila — August 11, 2012 @ 2:59 pm
Hello! I cannot wait to get the yarn and start this entrelac scarf! Problem loading the pattern from Ravelry., so I went to the other website and I don’t think she has it on the website anymore. I can watch the You Tube video (thank you so much-you are awesome lady!)but I came for the rows that weren’t included on the video. Newbie, I need some patterns and vids to get things rolling. If you get a chance it would be greatly appreciated! Have a good weekend, I ope it cools off down there, its been a real muggy treat of a summer up here, thats me being sarcastic. I loved the story about fostering your dog, I cannot do that, I will HAVE atleast 10 by the time I’m done.
Comment by Ginger B in CT — August 17, 2012 @ 7:41 pm
Hi Staci, I love your site. You are a wonderful teacher and I’ve learned so much already. Could you tell me which wool you used for your finished scarf in the video, the lovely mix of sky blues and deep reds? I assume that the universal yarns wool you described in a previous comment was the dark red wool you used for the demonstration. I admit it:, I just want to copy your good taste!
Comment by Gillian — August 22, 2012 @ 3:03 pm
I would like to thank you so much for providing a hands-on approach to entrelac. I was able to master it after watching your video. Thank you again.
Comment by Jonmichael — August 23, 2012 @ 4:47 am

the entrelac is fantastic to do I did an entrelac blanked in crochet it was a breeze. The scarf is more fun.

Dear Staci,
Greetings to you from Haarlem in the Netherlands.
I love your introduction to entrelac knitting. I was feeling lonely here in the Netherlands and just browsing different sites for knitting, tatting etc. and came upon your video, it is wonderful! I could just smell the coffee, your little yarn sample landed in! Thank you for the connection to home! I’m finishing a pair of socks and the next projects will be your ruffle scarves, for my daughter and grandaugthers, after that I plan to start on the entrelac techique. i saw a beautiful sweater done in that technique in Vezelay, France in a little shoppe with absolutely beautiful knits in delicate yarns and colors.
I’m just getting settled in a small apartment in a “Hofje” in the center of Haarlem. Listening to you makes me feel right at home. Thanks!! Dagmar
Comment by Dagmar Cornand — October 2, 2012 @ 10:59 am
Thank you so much for your lovely videos. I am a new knitter. I learned the basics in March at my LYS and now have been knitting socks. I have seen this video before, but, now feel like I can tackle it. Thanks for taking us step by step through each different technique. I can’t wait to get started on this! Thanks again! Jen
Comment by Jennifer Jett — October 4, 2012 @ 7:00 pm
It took me 40 years to get up the courage to try entrelac — and your scarf and instructions and YouTube, etc. made it happen for me a couple of years ago.
I laugh now at how truly easy entrelac is … and how much fun.
My next step is to learn how to knit backwards so I don’t have to turn the work. But, since turning is no big deal, I am not in a rush to learn.
At first, I frogged the beginning a few times – until I realized that the ‘strange curled look’ was correct – so I trusted and continued.
Thank you! Thank you!!
Comment by Marny — October 9, 2012 @ 3:49 am
Hi Staci, thanks for the entrelac video. I had never heard of this design before, although I have been knitting since I was 7 years old, a long time ago! I do have a question. When starting to knit, do you automatically get the same effect with the color changes as in your beautiful sample? I wonder if some of the small blocks will turn out to be half one color and half another. I recently found yarn with long color changes required by this technique and wonder if it will work. I have the instructions which I downloaded from Ravelry, but it doesn’t say anything about this issue. Thanks very much!
Comment by Knits & Quilts — October 13, 2012 @ 2:15 pm
Yes – even with long-strand dyed yarns, the colors aren’t always going to change between blocks, and you can get a block that is half-and-half. It’s the knitters choice to just run with it, or if you see that’s going to happen, you can break the yarn, cut out the rest of the color that isn’t going to make a complete block, and start the new block with the new color.
Hope that helps!

Staci – Thank you so much for this tutorial. I saw the pattern on Pinterest and just fell in love. I’ve only been knitting a few months, but after watching your tutorial, I decided I could do Entrelac. I started the Allison LoCicero pattern last Saturday, and I probably started and stopped your video twenty times, but I figured it out and I am having so much fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I couldn’t have done it without your help.
Comment by Stephanie — October 15, 2012 @ 10:57 am
Do you think that the pattern could be made in to a blanket just by make multiple scarves and attaching them together?
Comment by Clara — October 15, 2012 @ 9:30 pm
Yes, just cast on any multiple of 8, and have at it! The pattern tells you to cast-on 24 stitches for three bottom triangles. But you can cast on any multiple of 8 for a wider piece, even for a blanket. Good luck!

Staci, thanks for your wonderfully instructive video tutorial. I had been thinking about learning entrelac for a couple of months and even bought a book on the technique. However, the book looked too complex on its own. With the finding of your video, the written instructions now make sense.
I have heard of a technique to stop the old colour showing on the new block when you have to pick up stitches… do you know this technique and where on the web I could find it?
Comment by Linda — November 19, 2012 @ 12:34 am
Hi Linda – if you are “picking up and knitting” on the right side of the work and “picking up and purling” on the wrong side (as I demonstrate in the video), the old color will not show through on the front of the work. Beyond that, I have never heard of a technique for that.
Hope that helps!

Staci-
You made this so easy and so simple with your tutorial! I watched the tutorial in the morning and that evening finished a previous small project and was able to knit 10″ in my first sitting! So far my scarf looks very very cool and even my husband was impressed by how complicated this piece looks. I know I’ll be making more than one of these!

Just found your site a couple of days ago. I’m working on some convertible mittens and the pattern didn’t make sense. I’m going to modify it to use your glove technique. Then, I ran across this tutorial and I want to do it! How do you pick the colors to use? There are so many beautiful ones out there!

Comment by s t a c i — January 6, 2013 @ 11:21 am
Staci,
All I had to do was go back to a particular section and had an aha moment. My husband loves the scarf and my first project for 2013 is done.
I loved your entrelac video. It was great to go back to it when I made a mistake with the written directions. It just didn’t line up!
I had to find my own way of doing one thing. In tier 1 when you pick up stitches on the wrong side and you have to purl, I had to find my own way of doing it, because I was taught to knit while growing up a child in Germany. So I hold the feeder thread in my left hand.
I will take time to check out your other tutorials as I find myself needing to brush up on skills. I feel like I am turning into my Grandma who always had a knitting project in her hands.
Again, thank you for the clear instructions.
Angel

This is amazing. a friend of mine and I are going to start making matching scarves tomorrow using Allison’s pattern on http://www.frecklesandpurls.com and this has made it appear so much less daunting.For now I’m excited, but i’ll let you know when I’m pulling my hair out in the middle of tier two in frustration.
thanks again.

Thank you so much for the wonderful entrelac tutorial! I am an experienced knitter but have never tried entrelac. My motivation to learn is to try to duplicate the beautiful green raglan sweater in the movie Whale Rider. This was a great introduction to the technique. This scarf is a perfect practice project before I tackle the sweater. Thanks again!

Hi Staci,
When you finish the final tier section and work all the the triangles have been worked is the scarf finished or do your start over with row one in the final tier section?

Thank you so much for what must be the best entrelac tutorial out there! I watched it all the way through yesterday, picked up my yarn and needles and am already a third of the way through my scarf. You made it so clear and I’m just so delighted with the result. I consider myself an advanced knitter but have never tried entrelac before. Thank you thank you!! Bayla
Comment by Bayla — March 4, 2013 @ 4:52 pm
Hi Staci,
I am trying to start my second middle square (where I pick up and purl 8 stitches), my first square worked perfectly but this time I can only find 7 stitches to pick up. I’ve re-checked many times and there are only 7 spots where I can pick up. I’m wondering how I can make my 8th stitch without it being obviously that I screwed up somehow. My fear is if I yarn over it will cause a hole, and I’m not sure how else to make a stitch in this particular situation. Thanks for any advise you may have!
Comment by Amanda — March 4, 2013 @ 5:08 pm
Amanda – I say this in the video…cram that stitch in there! It happens sometimes, but there is always room to fit one more, even if it doesn’t fit like you expected. No one will be the wiser.

Comment by s t a c i — March 4, 2013 @ 6:07 pm
Staci, your video is fantastic! Makes learning this new method a breeze for this 60-something granny. I’ve been knitting since I was about 8 or 9 but sometimes trying new methods is a bit daunting — not this one, thanks to your video!
Comment by Ingie — March 20, 2013 @ 3:03 pm
Staci, this is a wonderful video & you are a natural teacher! Since I started knitting I’ve been intimidated by entrelac, but you make it look super easy!
My one suggestion would’ve been to do the different tiers in different colors of yarn so the end result is easier to see…
Comment by Shelley — April 8, 2013 @ 6:56 am
Mary Maxim’s Prism varigated yarns works well for entrelac knitting. It is soft, reasonable price and is varigated in long strips of luscious colours.
Comment by Kathy Hunt — April 16, 2013 @ 1:29 pm
I’ve never done anything like this before, but it looks fun and I want to try it, but you don’t talk about if there is a special way to start with the variegated yarn so the triangles and squares come out right and what to do when you run out of a ball of yarn and have to add in the next.
