Flat Entrelac

A tutorial on how to knit entrelac pattern in stocking stitch on 2 needles: small diamonds worked on the bias, each picked up from the sides of the one below. With this knowledge you can make a bag, cover for your laptop, a scarf, wrap, blanket – or any rectangular piece.

Patterns for a laptop bag and pouch are given in full to demonstrate the entrelac method. There are also notes to make a scarf in Noro Silk Garden Sock yarn and instructions on how to use the entrelac technique for other items. The pattern includes how to “knit backwards” – work purl side stitches on the knit side to save turning.
