Entrelac Basics
Saturday August 24th from 1:00 to 4:00PM, cost $35
Entrelac knitting, or basketweave knitting, is not hard, but it is very different from traditional row by row knitting. This will be a technique class, not a project class, but a pattern will be provided for an entrelac cushion cover. To be made into a pillow or seat cushion of your choice. Bonus! If we have time we will make knitted tassels.
Everyone will learn on point or corner to corner entrelac, entrelac from a long cast-on edge, and entrelac in the round. Only basic knitting skills are needed: students should know how to cast-on, knit, purl, bind off, and knit in the round.
Materials:
Smooth DK, Worsted weight, or Chunky weight yarn in 1 or 2 colors
Circular Knitting needle sized for your yarn
Double Pointed Needles for your yarn
Crochet hook about size E, F, or G
To make the cushion in Chunky weight yarn you will need the following:
200 yards of yarn, optional tassels would take an additional 50 yards
24" circular needles US 10 or size for yarn
Double Pointed Needles for optional tassels.
