I Tweeted and Facebooked about this back in December but realized I never gave it the proper blog post it deserved!
I was honored to be contacted by Staci Perry of verypink.com asking if she could film an entrelac tutorial based on my Entrelac Scarf Pattern. Those of you familiar with Staci’s tutorials know how wonderful they are!
If you are new to entrelac knitting (or intimidated by it!) this video will make you an entrelac pro! You can download my pattern and follow along as Staci walks you through every step!
And please visit Staci’s website for more wonderful tutorials!

This is personal preference! I chose to have the k2togs at the end of those purl rows to form a tiny garter-stitch ridge along each side. If you choose to do a p2tog like Staci does, you will not have the “bumps” along the sides of your scarf.
So again, it’s personal preference. I like the little bumps as a design feature but some people don’t and that’s ok! Whatever you choose to do, just be sure to do the same thing on BOTH sides of the scarf to make sure the edges match!
Hope this helps!

I just wanted to make sure there was not a change to the pattern from the first time I printed it out. And thank you so much for sharing your talents.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
