If you're looking for a captivating knitting experience, you'll love pairing entrelac with a long gradient yarn, particularly one that features two individually dyed strands.

It's been thoroughly tested by knitters of all skill levels, including those with no prior experience in entrelac. This pattern smoothly transitions you from knitting flat to in-the-round entrelac in one comprehensive project, providing you with a solid foundation for future entrelac endeavors. By mastering this technique, you’ll open the door to endless creative possibilities!
The detailed directions are written clearly, and extensive diagrams and schematics are included to guide you through each step of the process.
