You certainly have very lovely hands and nails. When you knit it looks effortless. I actually wrestle with my projects. And, sometimes they win. thank you for sharing
You made entrelac SO easy and approachable! I finished this cowl in one day, but I added an extra row of right leaning rectangles to make it a bit thicker. I also only picked up 9 in my bind-off triangles, not sure what difference it made, but it looks fine. You ALSO have improved my technique immensely! I'm a fairly new knitter, and have struggled with tension and technique (I knit continental as well), and copying your technique made a WORLD of difference to me. So, THANK YOU for sharing all your wisdom with us! I'll be watching all of your videos now.
The cowl is so cute! Knit Picks Chroma looks SO soft! I watched your video more than a year ago and haven't forgotten how pretty the cowl was. I have not tried Chroma, I might now.
I liked the intermediate detail for this technique. I thought it interesting you used your fingers to "pick up" stitches. You did mention using a crochet hook. I simply pick up with my left needle as if the stitch were there all the time to work. No extra "tool"; no fiddling with fingers. In the same breath, I DO use my fingers sometimes but usually using the left needle is easier. Happy knitting. Thanks for the video.
Great video! I like the way you did the finishing triangles. Can't wait to try it. Mine have been kind of sloppy compared to the starting ones. this might be the solution for it. Thank you.
I really couldn't say how many stitches you would need; that depends on your gauge using whatever needles and yarn you choose. Check Ravelry for an entrelac hat pattern - there are oodles.
Thank you for showing 'entrelac in the round'. One thing though. When I did my first row of triangles I end up with a pearl-stitch-pattern while the knitting thread shows to the left on the video, not a knit-stitch pattern. Is your camera mirrored in this way? If I were to turn my work around I'd have to knit, NOT purl to get to the second row of rectangles and I would have to pick them up not in a purl-manner but a knit-stitch-manner. What went wrong here? Anyone else running into this problem?
The camera films head on. It is hard to tell what the issue may be without seeing the work. I haven't had anyone else mention a problem - if the instructions are followed as shown, it should work out.
@@iknitwithcatfur - first row of purled triangles, then turn the work and perl back? .... If I turn the work I see knit-stitches and then I would add the first square with knit-stitches, which I don't see here. It's ok. Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I'll just knit as the triangle pattern appears as well when knitting my first row of squares and then keep moving after closing the circle. Thanks for your response. :-)
@@iknitwithcatfur - I figured it out. I just went knit-wise around for the first rectangles and it's also perfectly fine ;-) I was making a beanie-hat with the rest of the wool that I had left over from a just recently finished sweater. I found your helpful tips how to knit entrelac in the round for that I did not want to have a seam on this beanie, because it's a multi-color yarn and especially with this type of pattern where colors don't necessarily match when sewing pieces together, you know. With the sweater it actually looks interesting on both sides.
These are great - the only thing I don't understand is how to determine the number of rows for rectangles - are they as many rows as they are long and just turn into rectangles because of the shape of the stitches? I watched both of your flat entrelac videos as well and am missing that bit of info. Thanks so much - you're very good at explaining things and showing how to do each step. ... Watched more - it appears that there are about twice as many rows are there are 'columns' - is that the case? Or is it dependent on the pattern chosen?
+thizizliz i wondered about this, too, and realized it's because you only knit or purl two together every other row. one row you turn, the next row you stitch 2 together.
I am knitting fingerless mittens in the round in 2X2 rib for the cuff, now I want to only put an entrelac pattern on the back of the hand part and stockinette in the palm. Any suggestions on how to continue around each row? I'm thinking I will have to work like a heel flap and work each side separately and when I knit the palm join at each row up the sides.. I am enjoying your videos..
I cannot find "in the round" how to do the base rectangle in the round. I am doing the Entrelac Bag, no pulling at all in the pattern. I am lost of the base triangle.
Sorry, I do not know the entrelac bag pattern, but if you are missing part of your pattern instructions, you might want to check with whoever designed the pattern. Seamless entrelac starts flat; you don't actually join and begin working in the round until after you've completed the last right leaning rectangle. Maybe that is where the confusion is coming in?
Can anyone tell me what stitch you can do which looks just like entrelac but its really a woven thingy with all the rows going under and over each other and spaces in between them
I am wondering if there is a way to do the bind off triangles and then keep the stitches live. I made an entrelac scarf and I want to add a panel of entrelac pattern to a pair of fingerless mitts below the thumb gusset to the first joint on each finger. I am figuring I'll have initial triangles of 6 stitches each and then 1 set of left-leaning and 1 right leaning then finish off with a row of triangles and then 6 -8 rows of stockinette that will roll back a little. Any suggestions would be helpful
Hi, April. I just saw your question as I am learning entrelac in the round now. Whenever I want to leave bind off stitches "live", I don't bind off. Instead, I slip the stitches onto circular needles. That way, when I am ready to work them, I can just knit them off the circulars. You may need to put stitch keepers on the ends of the circulars till you are ready to use those stitches. Hope this helps.
Hi, How many stitches would I need to cast on for a lady's hat and also could I pick up stitches at the bottom and make ribbing. Thanks for the vids they are so helpful.
Question/Comment: When I knit entrelac normally I always slip the first stitch knit or purl wise on the rows when I p2tog or k2tog (I ssk instead). Is there a reason specific to knitting in the round that you do not do this and just knit it or purl it instead? Or is this just "your style"????
Jennifer Whitesel It doesn't really matter one way or the other - slipping just makes the sts a bit easier to pick up, there isn't any difference in the appearance.
good job demonstrating the join and tiers but why didn't you demonstrate the changing of yarn and how to make sure it is well secured provided it won't be ugly on the wrong side with too many tails to weave in
Some things are assumed, like you are familiar with joining a new ball of yarn and weaving in ends since those are basic skills most have likely learned when they first begin knitting. That said, the easiest way to change the yarn color is to just drop the old strand and being using the new one, like I did here ua-cam.com/video/OOEXPLY2EDg/v-deo.htmlm11s. There are other methods, one which you can see here ua-cam.com/video/zTd5QKrESiM/v-deo.html and weaving in ends can be seen here ua-cam.com/video/7rBgNpG4Ehs/v-deo.html
Really enjoyed this vid. I also like the cowl at the beginning with the cable and lace squares. You tend not to see a lot of variation in stitches for entrelac projects. Are there any special concerns about knitting with something other than stocknette? I imagine you'd have to be sure to leave at least two edge stitches at each side, right?

I just made one of these for my daughter's birthday. It's beautiful! I think I'll make one for myself, too!
This would make a wonderful ear warmer/headband....and was exactly what I was hoping to find! Thank you so very much!❤
This stitch is eliminated on the first knit row that is worked after you pick up and purl to begin the Bind Off Triangle.
This is a great tutorial! Thanks so much :) you have my absolute favorite knitting videos!

Pure genius! I have been looking for a new project to start and this it!
thank you thank you thank you... I am making my first cowl and I am in love
Great but it cuts out at the end are you supposed to K2tog with the extra 11 stitch at the end of the first bind off triangle?
Great video! I like the way you did the finishing triangles. Can't wait to try it. Mine have been kind of sloppy compared to the starting ones. this might be the solution for it. Thank you.

You'll work however many rows it takes to work all of the stitches in each rectangle, and the rectangles magically happen :0)

Are there any special concerns about knitting with something other than stocknette? I imagine you'd have to be sure to leave at least two edge stitches at each side, right?
When working with different colors, do you have to cut off the yarn for a new section, or can it be knitted with into the pattern?
It is best to cut the old yarn.
Have you ever done entralac with the knook? Or have tryed it?
I have tried knooking, and don't care for it.
oh k
How did you add cables?
I just did a simple cable that fit within the number of stitches I was working with. I think it was a six stitch cable.
Do you have a pattern for the cowl that you knit that includes the lace and cable pattern?
Here is a link for the pattern www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/accessory/cables-and-lace-entrelac-cowl/48087

Thanks for sharing
i cannot find the pattern for the entrelac lace and cable please help
I'm sorry, the pattern isn't available any longer.
@@iknitwithcatfur i actually figured it out on my own. but can you tell me how many triangles i cast on
for the scarf
I'm confused on how to join to the last triangle to continue in the round
how do you join the bottom of the cowl
Entrelac in the round will join itself as you continue to work - that is shown in the video.
What do I do with the extra stitch on the bind-off triangles?
I just wish it continued to include the beginning of another right leaning round... Im just guessing.
You can easily rewatch the part showing the right leaning rectangles. It is redundant to repeat something already shown.
how knitting sweater in this pattern
You may want to check for patterns on Ravelry.
Can/how could I decrease and make a hat?
Lovely idea. Thnx
Please re-issue this pattern. It's too pretty not to.
