I learned to KNIT Entrelac, many years ago, but I always wanted to CROCHET the same pattern so, Thank you, very much for this video!
❤❤
You are so welcome Margaret! It's a pattern I really enjoy working on because I find it so relaxing. 🌹 ❤️
Very very happy with your great description of entrelac. I did it a few years ago and forgotten. Just watching you is marvellous. I cannot thank you enough
Thank you! I lerned on a video with music only. I needed more. That is how I found you. I had to do a deep dive search. You have helped me so much.❤❤❤❤❤
Ypur tutorial was fantastic. Thank you.
You've very welcome, I'm so please you enjoyed it! 🌹
Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I have crocheted for 58 years and this is the most wonderful, comprehensive, well done tutorial I have ever had. I have subscribed.
Thank you so much for your lovely words LuAnn, you have absolutely made my day! I'm so pleased my video was helpful. 🌹
@@TillyDouglas You are very welcome. You now have me hooked on this wonderful technique. It truly is a relaxing stitch.
I have watched quite a few tutorials for this stitch and I love your no nonsense, no faffing way of teaching. I have done honeycomb Tunisian stitch but struggled with this until now. Big thank you x 🏴
Hi Jojo, I'm so pleased my video helped, this is such a lovely stitch to crochet, and once you get the hang of it it's quite relaxing to do. 🌹
Just started making a cushion cover using different shades of grey and cream. Looking forward to finishing it for my parents x
Oh it sounds fab, I bet they'll love it! 😃
Thank you so much !! Your instructions are very clear and easy to understand. I’m going to start a baby blanket for my great granddaughter. Thank you again, you’re a great teacher.
Thank you Tilly, for a lovely demo. I will definitely crochet this blanket soon. Kind regards😊
thank you for such an in depth video on this stitch.
Tilly, I did three entrelac blankets clear back in 2015 but they were worked in the round. It's now March of 2022, and I was so thrilled to just happen to come across this video tutorial to make the straight rows. I made my squares a little bigger as each one has 6 bars. I made 12 squares wide and 14 squares high and did 3 rows of single crochet as the border. I ended up with a 36"x40" blanket. When I started my second row I didn't go into the bar but went into the actual stitch above it. This got rid of the little ridges and the blanket lays flat. I used a variegated yarn that is similar to yours along with white and it turned out absolutely beautiful. I had already made 10 baby blankets for our church and a new great-great niece that's due in a few weeks and I was getting board but doing a blanket this way has brought the fun back into crocheting. I just started my next blanket in turquoise, dark to light variegated turquoise along with white. It looks so pretty with just 4 rows done so far. Thank you for this tutorial and waking up my joy of crocheting.
You are very welcome! 🌹 You certainly keep yourself busy and you're very generous to make so many blankets for other people... I love that! Turquoise is my favourite colour, so that sounds wonderful!

Hi Tilly,
Beautiful pattern, I can’t wait to try it! I don’t know if I missed it, but would you mind letting me know how many yard of yarn is needed from each color for a baby blanket. Thanks so much, Julie
Hi Julie, I’m so pleased you like it! It was quite some time ago that I made this blanket, so I’m sorry but I don’t know how many yards of yarn I used . Xx
Tilly Iade my baby blanket by ur video thank u very much we ish I could send u a picture
Hello Tilly. I love your instructions. I’m using three colours pink white and orange. Looks lovely but I’m getting confused with the ends of small blanket. First row of pink I have 30 squares after completing 6 rows of squares I have got 32 squares. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Great teaching skills, and very easy to follow. I have subscribed!!
Hi Karen, you're welcome, I'm so pleased it was helpful for you! And thank you so much for the lovely comments :-)
I love this I'm just wondering how you finish it off do you put a border on it. Or is it meant to have zigzag edge rather than a straight edge.
Hi Julie, I'm so pleased you like it! You can either keep the zigzag edge or put a straight edge on it... I've made a video to show how it's done, which you can find here ua-cam.com/video/7ILiRAnqPY0/v-deo.html
Thank you. How do you finish the edges if you don’t want a zigzag edge?
Tilly do you have a video on how you did the white border on your blanket that's what I need help with
This is well done so simple, I have done the c2c entrelac now I want to do the rows but I want to do 14 stitches by 17 rows. Do I do chains in multiples of 31 times the amount of blocks I need to get the width of the bed I’m making it for ?
Hearts and Stars 💙❤️ love it
Hi Jadia, I'm really pleased you like it :-D
Love the pattern...Have Subscribed.
Thank you very much Ann, I’m so pleased you like it! 😀
If I am doing a baby blanket, would I chain 100 to start and not the 37?
tilly could you tell me if i cast on 100 stitches what size a block would i will have thaqnkyou
I love how thorough you are in your explanations! The only thing I am having trouble with is size. I made a swatch. If my squares are 2" and I want a 42" blanket width, do I divide 42 x 2 = 21. Then times 21 by the stitch multiple? Please, please help!
Hi Kim, I'm pleased my video is helpful for you! Your equation makes sense to me, so I think you should be absolutely fine with that. 🌹
@@TillyDouglas Thank you so much! I have had other youtube designers tell me to just make it c2c or keep ripping it out and start over! Ummm - no! So, thank you so much!
Hi , i love this baby blanket. Color was creme and a varigated. Could you please tell me the color and manufacturer? Thank you for going as slow as you did. I look forward to watching other videos of yours. Thank you. 🐾🐾
Hi, I'm so pleased you like it, but I'm sorry, I can't remember what yarn it was I used for this.
Great video! The problem I face with Tunisian stitches is that they curl up a lot. How to survive that? And also how do you make a border for this zigzag edge?
Hi Bhavani, I'm so pleased you liked the video! As you will see from mine, there is some curling, it's just the way it is with Tunisian crochet. You can lessen it somewhat by experimenting with different size crochet hooks and also adjusting your tension. But I do find that as you continue with your piece the curl automatically starts to lay flatter. And then when it's finished, blocking flattens it completely.
I do have a video on my UA-cam channel to show you how you can do the edging which I hope you will find helpful
Yes me too and how to do the halves for ALL around the blanket.
Do u dstrat with the size u want like 120 stitcha and go from there
Hi Ruth, yes, start with chaining the right amount for the size you want.
How many rows for the baby blanket?
In the baby blanket you show at the start you tell that you used the multicolored yarn on the white squares. I did that and at the end I slip stitched but do I change to the white yarn right after that? and then how do you do the rest of the border? I hope that makes sense.
Are you talking about the triangle parts? When I got to the corner I just slip- stitched and finished it off then went to the white yarn on the side triangles. When I got all 4 sides I did a row of single crochet then a row of double crochet and a final row of single crochet. That was with the multi color of blue. I'm not too sure if I answered your question. There are others that do tutorials. One is Tilly Douglas and one is Naztazia (not her real name). ua-cam.com/video/7ILiRAnqPYO/v-deo.htmlsi=AY51atcljTDNwM68
Hope that helps more than my explanation.
When adding the second row (not the one in the square/diamond) is there a ridge on the backside when starting a new square?
Hi Sharon, yes there is a ridge on the back :-)
What size yarn did you use for your baby blanket
Muchas gracias❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you been want to do this.i will try it x
You're welcome Mandy, I'm pleased it was helpful for you :-)
Been trying but just can't get it yet.
@@mandygroves1876 Keep pausing or rewinding the video Mandy... I really hope you crack it because it's such a lovely relaxing stitch to do once you've learnt it ... I know it can be very frustrating to start with because I was just the same, but all of a sudden I got it! Good luck with it!
Tilly - In the beginning you say to crochet 100 chain stitches. in the video you only chain 37. if I want to make the blanket I chain 100 right?
Yes that's right... In the beginning I was showing you how I made the baby blanket which was starting with chaining 100 .... When I moved on to the small example piece I chained 37 for that .... It works out 9 chains for each square you do plus 1 extra .... So for the baby blanket I did 11 squares across which is 11 x 9 = 99 +1 = 100 ... For the example piece I did 4 square across for my first row of squares so 4 x 9 = 36 + 1= 37
Can you tell me how to draw up a loop with the yarn in the front?
Place your hook through that front stitch that looks like the ladder, then yarn over your hook and pull the yarn through
Hi. I was trying to crochet this blanket. I used group of 9 + 1. I chained 127. For some reason Im doing something wrong. I end up with 3 extra chains. In the written instructions it says to crochet the square till I have 3 rows. But in your video repeat the rows 4 times. I'm confused.
can you tell me how you put a border on this blanket please? thank you
Hi Cristina, I've made a video explaining how you can do the edging for the Entrelac blanket which you can find here >>> ua-cam.com/video/7ILiRAnqPY0/v-deo.html I hope you find it helpful 👍😀
Beautifull❤️❤️
Thank you so much Sarala! ❤️😘
Do yu havethis for left hand?
Unfortunately not.
Need to know how many chains for baby blanket and what size hooks?
That depends on a a few things... what size blanket you want (there are lots of different sizes of baby blankets). What type of yarn you use. What your crochet tension is like.
Ok thank I been thru granny square baby blanket about 40 to 42 inches I think, also use 4.0 or 4.5 hooks and I use yarn is WI (woman institute yarn) I use most of time it a good name.
Do you have a written pattern to go along with your video?
Hi Johna, I'm actually working on a photo tutorial right now which I hope to have live on my blog soon... If you subscribe to my youtube channel and click the little bell icon you'll be notified when i bring out new videos and I'm going to do another video to explain how to fill in the edges, so you'll get notified on youtube when I do it :-)
I've done a photo tutorial for you today which I hope will help you a bit more Johna ... You can find it here ... bit.ly/2z12ndy
How did you get the 9 ? And yet each square you pick up 5 + 1 on the hook what happens to the other 4 chains?
Hi Virginia, for the first row of each square you pick up 5 chains... Then you go back along the first row and pick up another of the chains... You do that for each of the other rows in the square
I've halfway through this blanket and I can't figure out how to decrease. Do I just skip this first and go into the Second?
I'm stuck
Thank you for your help!
Hi Melissa, I'm not sure why you're wanting to decrease at the halfway point? I'm wondering if you're getting confused with a C2C (corner to corner) ? ... With this Tunisian style you would just carry on until you reach the desired size. I hope that helps x
@@TillyDouglas The way I made it it is a c2c but after watching your video again and again I think I figured it out.
Thank you so much for your response!
Ah ok,... great at least you figured it out. I bet it looks fab as a c2c!
Can I make the box's bigger for this pattern
I've never made them bigger, but I don't see any reason you can't .... You could try doubling them ... If I was you I would do a sample test so make your chain length and see how it works out when you make the squares bigger x
How many chains do I make for a king-queen size bed
Hi Terry,
It depends on the yarn you use, your hook size and your tension... So unfortunately I can't tell you how many you need to do... I suggest you do a test piece with the yarn and hook size that you plan to use and then measure that ... Then you can work out how many squares you need and the amount of chains... It might help to see the photo tutorial for this video on my blog, visualsensecrafts.com
Can you tell me if you have a written pattern for the baby blanket I am holding to make some for our local maternity hospital, Many Thanks
Hi Jenny, that's such a lovely thing to do! Y Yes, I wrote a pattern for it which you can find here www.visualsensecrafts.com/how-to-crochet-entrelac-stitch-with-video-tutorial/
what is the brand and colors are those?
To be honest, I can't remember, it was such a long time ago.
How do you do the triangle fillers?
Hello Carla, I have made a video showing that exact thing, which you can find here ua-cam.com/video/7ILiRAnqPY0/v-deo.html
I have a dum question how do you know what block to start on each time
Hi Sheila, I have a photo tutorial on my blog that will hopefully help... You can find the link for it. in the description under this video.
Thank you

howmany chains for a doubble bed
It depends on the yarn you use, your hook size and your tension... So unfortunately I can't tell you how many you need to do...

i think it about 200 stitches so i not good with number so i need ur help okay
That's ok, so you would do 200 divided by 9 (because for each square you need to chain 9)which is roughly 22 and then your + 1 .... And then 22 x 9 = 198 +1 = 199 .... So you need a chain of 199 ... That will give you 22 squares for your first row ... I hope that makes sense
@@TillyDouglas yes thanks tilly
can u do this with bigger squares
Hello Tilly. I love your instructions. I’m using three colours pink white and orange. Looks lovely but I’m getting confused with the ends of small blanket. First row of pink I have 30 squares after completing 6 rows of squares I have got 32 squares. What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks!
How many chains for baby blanket?
