Entrelac

One of todays hottest knitting trends is entrelac, a modular technique that results in striking basketwork designs of rows within rows and interlocking diamond patterns. Using only simple knit and purl stitches, knitters can create eye-catching pieces with incredible texture. Entrelac introduces both the history and how-to of this fun style, along with 20 patterns for a variety of garments, home décor items and baby accessories. Comprehensive instructions and a wide array of swatches provide endless possibilities in lace, colourwork and much more.
