ENTRELAC Scarf


Supplies - Approximately 400 yards of yarn in a dk weight, self striping yarns make lovely, intertesting scarves. The nicer the yarn, the nicer the scarf looks, your possibilities are endles! You want needles one size large than appropriate for yarn unless you are a loose knitter. If you are a loose knitter, use the needle size the yarn recommends. We will be starting a scarf after we learn the basics, such as; knittting backwards. When you knit backwards it creates a purl stitch without purling. The other way of knitting entrelac (a french word for interwoven fabric) is much more time consuming and labor intensive as every few rows you are turning your work. It is quite additive once you get the hang of it.
