Entrelac Scarf


It was time to try a new technique in knitting...entrelac. Just the word sounds and looks frighteningly difficult. So I was pleasantly surprised with just how easy it was to knit up this scarf. If you can follow directions, pick up stitches, ssk and k2tog, you can make your own beautiful scarf. (It took me less than a week to knit this!) The pattern is a free Ravelry  pattern, The Basic Entrelac Scarf. I used a yarn you just can't go wrong with, Noro Aya, a cotton/silk blend. It did take four skein, so beware...this is not an inexpensive scarf. But wow, is it worth the money. Just look at the color changes!

  1. That is a ridiculously beautiful scarf. I've considered doing one similar in the past and decided it looked two difficult. If those are the two most difficult stitches though, maybe I'll have to look again. Thanks for the encouragement!

  2. Beth, I am SUPER bummed that I didn't get a chance to chat with you on Wednesday. I'm originally from Sullivan County and my husband grew up in the Haute. Always glad to see another Hautian face. :)

  4. I wish I had talked with you too, Queen of Free. I live just on the line between Vigo and Sullivan. Bet we have a lot in common that we don't know about yet.
