This is by far the best video of entrelac that I've seen. It's perfectly explained especially the different squares. The square drawing idea it's brilliant because you can understand the concept better. Thank you much. Subscribed to you channel!!!!
I tried to make it as easy as possible for people to understand the construction of the different kinds of blocks that make up a C2C entrelac pattern. I am glad you like it :)
I am so happy to have found your channel! I learned basic crochet stitches from my mum many years ago, but I never used them. Decades later, I have a renewed interest in the craft after seeing a few UA-cam videos. Now, I am literally hooked, especially on Tunisian crochet. I am so happy to find someone who gives this more than passing attention. Know that your videos and work are much appreciated! Thank you from a new & enthusiastic subscriber!
Thank you for your kind words Gregory. They mean so much to me :) I discovered Tunisian crochet a little over a year back and I am learning new things everyday. I am happy to be able to share what I have found and learnt so far. I would love to see what you make so, if you get a chance, please share some pictures of your makes with me.
Thank you so much for making this video! I plan on making myself a blanket. Changing colors every block. I have a scheepjes-cahlista sample color pack with 109 colors. I plan to use each color randomly at least 2 to 3 times if I can. It’s because of your video I think I can do this. You explained this very well! Thank you again!!
That sounds wonderful! If you follow the video and figure out the 4 different kinds or squares, this is a super easy technique! I hope you will enjoy making it, please share some picture with me when you do - knitterknotter@gmail.com.
Thank you. Love this c2c type. I will do this next. I am going to join the rows through the stitches like you do, but not bind off as this will eliminate the bulk. I hope it works lol.
That sounds like a good idea, do you plan to cut yarn and join again or just carry it in the back? I'd love to hear about your experience after you try it!
Yes, absolutely! You could make a chart with as many squares you'd like and then mark them with the type each square will be and you can go from there. I have a pattern in the works for quite some time now but I haven't had a chance to release it yet. If you have any trouble figuring it out, you are welcome to reach out to me at knitterknotter@gmail.com.
Is there a way to do Tunisian entrelac so that the stitches alternate direction like in knitted entrelac? (Knitted entrelac looks sort of woven.) This is a really cool technique, but you can get the same visual end result with basic intarsia color changes or JAYGO strips. It would be cool to mimic knitted entrelac more closely. Not sure if that's even possible. Thanks for your excellent videos. I'm learning a lot!
That sounds interesting but, I am sorry, I don't understand how to work the entrelac technique in knitting very well so I won't be able to answer your question. The woven look does look very good! if you figure out how to mimic it in Tunisian crochet, please share it with me. I will be very interested in learning how you did it.
Yes, based on your gauge you will have to figure out the number of stitches and rows to make a square of the size you want. Once you have figured that out, you can use the same technique for the larger squares.
On the left outside sq. #3 the return pass starts with pull through one but on inside sqs. #4 the return pass starts with pull through 2..is this correct?
I have had one more person ask the same thing. I am not sure why it would lean to the left but my guess is that it is a tension issue. Could you try a larger hook and see if that works out better? Also, I recommend blocking which usually works for me to fix a slight tilt in my projects. I hope one of these will work for you.
Hi, I am sorry but I don't know Spanish. There is one thing you could try: 1. Turn the Subtitles on 2. Click on the Settings gear, click on subtitles, then select the autotranslate option. That will let you choose Spanish and I am hoping that the translation will be good enough for you to follow the tutorial. Let me know if I can do anything else to help.
@@KnitterKnotter first you must activate the option from configuration of your platform. Then I will get to activar subtitles. The great thing is that you can to activate others language too
@@Sandycharo I tried looking at the different settings that are available to me and I can't find a setting to autotranslate to a different language. I can see the option to autotranslate currently in my youtube videos though. Could you try from a laptop? I don't see the option on my phone but I do see it on my laptop.
The parts that are repetitive are sped up. There is an option to watch the videos on UA-cam in slow motion - if you hit the gear at the bottom right corner, you can change the playback speed. I hope this helps.
Tunisian crocheted projects naturally curl because of the way the stitches are made. I recommend going up a hook size (use a hook at least 2 sizes bigger than what's recommended for the yarn). If it still curls a little, you could try blocking it.
If this is too quick for you, there is a way to slow the video down. You can click on the gear, then click on playback speed, then select a number less than one. I hope this will help.
Hello Clerice, I will keep this in mind for my future videos. For this one, you could reduce the playback speed and see if that works better for you. You need to click on the gear at the bottom, click on 'Playback speed' and pick a number less than 1.
Oh, if only you knitted slower and explained thise "basics" that not everyone are aware of, it would be video for beginners too. But this way its impossible to follow you.

I am constantly learning and trying to make my videos better, so I appreciate you stopping by and letting me know. If you are having trouble hearing me in this video, you could try turning the subtitles on. Thank you for your feedback.
After searching for days, yours is the only tutorial that explains where stitches should go.
Thank you.
I am glad it was helpful! :)

On the type 2 square is it pull through 2 across or pull through 1 then pull through 2 across?
Pull through 2 across for type 2 squares since we are not building an edge, we are joining with an existing square instead.
@@KnitterKnotter Thank you. I started a blanket and it’s looking nice. Beautiful pattern to work on.
could this be done with bigger squares
Yes, based on your gauge you will have to figure out the number of stitches and rows to make a square of the size you want. Once you have figured that out, you can use the same technique for the larger squares.
On the left outside sq. #3 the return pass starts with pull through one but on inside sqs. #4 the return pass starts with pull through 2..is this correct?
That's right, anywhere you are making the left edge of the project you'd start with a pull through one.
any tips on how to stop it from "leaning" to the left? i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong 😭

Does anyone think this pattern could be made into a shawl?
Yes, you could use this to make any rectangular or square shaped project!

Cant follow its too fast and nearly out from the camera 😟 but looks nice .

@@KnitterKnotter Thank you dear i will try it..:}
why is it curling when im making it

@@KnitterKnotter thank you
Some people use SC as the first row to help with the curling
Your to quick :( can't keep up or count
If this is too quick for you, there is a way to slow the video down. You can click on the gear, then click on playback speed, then select a number less than one. I hope this will help.
