Class Details:
Crocheted entrelac has been done before. But outline them in another color, and the diamond motifs really pop. Combine the Tunisian blocks with regular crocheted outlines in the round for seamlessness, and the wrong side rarely faces. Learn to shape the blocks for tams and yokes or keep them the same size for bags and cowls. Add different textures for even more complex-looking fun!
Technique Requirements: Must be familiar with Tunisian crochet.
Homework:
With worsted or chunky light-colored, non-splitty yarn and appropriate hook, ch 30, join with sl st to first ch to form a circle being careful not to twist (three repeats of 10-sts each for 3-sts between each double-inc and double-dec).
To work double-dec: Pick up loop in 1st, st, skip next st, pick up loop in next st, yarn over hook and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Rnd 1(RS)- ch 1, sc in same ch as joining sl st, * sc in each of next 3 ch, sc double-dec over next 3 ch, sc in each of next 3 ch +, 3 sc in next ch; rep from * around ending last rep at +, 2 sc in same first ch at beg of rnd, join with sl st to 1st sc.
Rnd 2 (WS)- ch 1 and turn, working through FRONT LOOPS only, 2 sc in 1st st, * sc in each of next 3 sc, sc double-dec over next 3 sc, sc in each of next 3 sc +, 3 sc in next sc; rep from * around ending last rep at +, sc in same st as first sc at beg of rnd, join with sl st to 1st sc, fasten and end off.
