Hooked On Entrelac

Hi, I’m Stacey. I’ve enjoyed crocheting for (omg, literally) decades, but it was only a couple of years ago that I stumbled across Tunisian Entrelac and it has rapidly become my obsession! I realised that as well as creating eye-catching checked patterns, it could be used for a huge variety of geometric designs, including rectangles, diamonds, triangles, stars in all types of combinations. If you haven’t tried Tunisian Entrelac before, I strongly urge you to give a go because it is so addictive! It’s much easier than crochet to count the number of stitches in a row as each stitch has a loop on the hook. ‘Entrelac’ refers to a pattern of small shapes (rather than long rows) so there is generally no need to purchase a Tunisian hook. I specialise in bags, for two reasons: - Tunisian crochet produces a dense, sturdy fabric which is perfect for bags - Who doesn't love a bag? I will be posting patterns suitable for beginners to start with, but I have more challenging patterns to follow
