Entrelac Knitting:

40 Stunning Projects with Textured, Diamond-Pattern Designs

by Mette Hovden, Heidi Eikeland

Learn the old and almost forgotten entrelac knitting technique, where the fabric is worked all in one piece as a series of interconnecting blocks.

This collection of 40 projects capture the exceptional and distinctive “woven” look of entrelac, including both striking multi-color designs and elegant single-color patterns. The book includes step-by-step instructions for how to work Entrelac the Norwegian way, tips and tricks for shaping, and transitioning from entrelac to stockinette and back again.

There are eye-catching garments and accessories for men and women, children and adults—including hats, mittens, sweaters, scarves, and more. There are special sections of patterns specifically meant for beginners, which is very helpful for grasping the technique. There is a certain emphasis, though, on learning to knit "backwards" (transferring stitches from RHN to LHN) to avoid turning, thus always working on the right side, and instructions are only given for continental knitters. If you don't want to perfect this extra skill, it is still quite easy to use the book for its many lovely patterns and helpful instruction.
