HOW TO CROCHET ENTRELAC STITCH: tunisian crochet patchwork, step by step crochet tutorial 

Love this stitch and the detail you explain it with is amazing.. I was looking for a pattern for a baby blanket.. This is it.. How can I stop the edges from curling?? And how will I know how many balls of yarn I need?? Thank you again.. Love from London UK 🥰🥰

I have been looking everywhere for this information. Everyone uses 7 stitches! I didn't want to use 7, I wanted 10. I like the technique, but don't want to make a billion little squares. Making a throw with worsted 4 yarn. I wanted it more lightweight, not heavy. So now I know the formula if I want to make 12, 15 or 20 stitch squares. BIG thank you 💓 I subscribed!

your instructions said i should end up with 10 slip stitches but i always end up with 9. i dont know where the other should be.

Thank you for making this video, I understand what you're doing but I still have trouble when closing the square with slip stitches and moving to the next square, not sure where the last slip stitch goes because there's not a vertical line for that last slip stitch. Help! Please :-)

I’ve looked for this kind of explanation for almost a year. This is the best.

Hello! Perfect instructions! Thank you. But I think I miss something, because in my slip stitch row there is only 9 slip stitches. I review the video many times and didn't get where is my mistake. I put 10 chains on the hook, made 10 stitches in each row, but in the last one, the count doesn't close. Could you help me, please? Love from Brazil!

Girl you make your instructions so clear, easy to follow, and so much simpler than other tutorials. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

I’ve been crocheting for about 10 years and just thought I’d check this video out to see what entrelac was. I think I’m in love with crochet all over again! This will be my next project! Thank you for such a clearly made instructional video. ❤️👍

Very nice. I like how your gave the square “types” differed names. 👍👍

Thank you for the video. I've seen this stitch in several videos and none of them explained it as well as you did. I don't remember any of them talking about 'X' being the chain stitches then do x-2 rows. It makes so much more sense after watching your than others. I am going to try this again now. Update: I have done this stitch by following your instructions and it is so much easier to work and they turn out so much better looking too. Again thank you for this video.

why is it when you start the second color after chaining x-1, you insert into the 2nd chain but when doing the third color after chaining x-1, you insert through the first chain???

I've watched quite a few entrelac videos, and yours is honestly the best. Good, clear narration and easy color differences. I am happy that I found this, thank you. 🎉

I like this method much better than the method that is diamond shaped! No need to fill in those triangles. Thanks so much for this clear tutorial!

Thank you so much for teaching this in such detail. I think this is my new favorite for making blankets and pillows. Once the squares are done, I can go back with either yarn or floss and "cross stitch" in the tiny squares of each tunisian stitch. The "join as you go" method of making a large piece out of smaller squares is what I love about this the most. Thanks again!

At 4:00 you say we should have the "x" number of slip stitches, but if you are skipping your first chain on your foundation chain you are actually only stitching "9" and the tenth loop on the hook comes from the previous set. This also means you would have x-1 slip stitches unless you chained 1 on your initial foundation chain (prior to beginning the second row). Therefore, you need to account for this change when determining how many rows you need, so (x-1)-2, in your case this is 7 instead of 8. (for reference with a foundation chain of 10, worse weight level 4 yarn and a size 5mm crochet hook, you will be left with a 4.5cm square under these adjustments. You will also have to double work the corners in order to keep your count correct but this shouldn't be much of an issue. If it is, moving to a larger hook size can help loosen the work, thus allowing you to work more stitches into the same space.

I been crocheting for years and i love learning new styles and stitches... I have watched many videos on this stitch and Yours is the best explanation on making a blanket... Others were good but didnt explain how to make it square for the blanket... I am making a baby blanket and this is perfect.... Thank you

This is a great tutorial!! Simple and easy to follow, I like your teaching style. Thank you for your help 🥰

Gosh, I know it's been 4 years since you posted this, but I have been searching for a tutorial like this forever! Thank you soooo much!! I've mastered it already and have started a blanket for my first grand baby! I'll forever be grateful!

In the initial type pf square, when we are done yarning back our X-1 chains, do we have to yarn in the hole in which we started the intial X-1 initials chains in, or in the hole that is above it ?

This is the best tutorial ever. You just explain it so clearly. Perfect.. thank you

fantástico, muy bien explicado, desde buenos aires argentina te saludo fabiana bonanno

Vous ne trainez pas dans les explications et elles sont claires de sorte que ça parait simple, merci pour la vidéo très agréable 👍👍

Thank you for this tutorial I’m finding this better than the others I found. I’m using up my scraps of Aran yarn to make a blanket. Using your 10 ch and 8 rows a 6.50 hook each square measures approx 3 inch square. Thanks again 👏❤️

You teach so clearly. No confusion about this stitch now. Thank you

I really like this stitch. I have tried it and love it. I saw another video that first chained across many stitches and then proceeded to make the box. What I find with that is the box doesn't turn out very straight. Your method is better because you are only working one square at a time and then connect . I will try your method and I am sure I will have success . Thank you for your beautiful work. I followed your crochet heart video and they turned out beautiful .

I've always avoided doing this because I thought it was so difficult, but you make it look so easy. Thank you. Would it be good for an adult blanket and what size squares would be good to use?

Thank you for a fabulous tutorial very clear and easy to follow!

Thanks for sharing... Too bad I'm a beginner in crochet and English.... but I managed to keep up. Thanks!

When I finish my 1st square and I go to do my slip stitches in one short for some reason... I'm not sure how I'm doing that since I'm following along exactly

Great tutorial Just a question How do you know which ones to pull through one loop first compared to pulling through 2

thank you for such CLEAR and concise instructions 🙌🏽 do you offer a written pattern?

It’s called Tunisian stitch and been around for years and the hook for it is called the Tunisian crochet hook, but love how you break it down in this video.

Thank you so much for the excellent tutorial! I really appreciated the logical way that you presented it. Once I understood that the construction of this pattern is the same concept as C2C in terms of it starting at a corner, your terms of "initial" and "final" squares finally made sense. 😊

I think it would be less confusing if you would say a number instead of X amount - very confusing - first you start with 10 then you end up with 9 - what???

THANK YOU !😊💁🏾‍♀️

Hello I hope all is well with you! You're tutorial is truly amazing! Thanks for sharing your talent! Blessings and Respect 💞👍🏾🙏🏾

分かりやすいようにゆっくり編んでくれるので、言葉は分からなくても理解できました。 素敵な動画をありがとう！

I loved this stitch! Your instructions are always so understandable and the image so clean and easy to see ❤️ Are you using a cotton yarn? Which type of yarn you recommend for blankets or cushions?

Very nice stitch thks for sharing it👏

This video is really helpful I can finally figure out how it's done! Thank you soooo much!

any tips on how to stop it from "leaning" to the left? i'm at my wit's end!

I loved this tutorial. I have been having trouble with this stitch. Thank you so much.

Is there a way to avoid my blocks leaning to the left?

New subscriber here. I love this tutorial. You explain this stitch so well. Thank you. Ive gotten C2C down and now want to atrempt this one. This stick makes the blanket look so soft and more fabric like than the C2C and I love that. My son does not like the "holes" in the blanket.

Is there a book I can buy with step by step guide xxx

❤GRANNY’S ERGONOMICS ARE NOT FOR THIS TUNISIAN SPORT. Special hooks are needed and they slip. At least this presenter is up front, as the hooks needed don’t have anything but slip. No grip at all.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you so much. 👏🏻🥰

This made it so simple! I found thus stitch in a book that only used symbols to explain and it was so confusing lol thank you!

I think you can make them going around the first square. Could you show how this is done also. I need a refresher . Thank you. You do very good work. Xo

Hi Can you do Tunisian entrelac in one colour?

Slip stitches are so hard to work in!

Svp traduction en français Demo pour gaucher

Nice job explaining how to do this stitch.

This is the best video I’ve found to explain this pattern. My only concern is all the ends you going to have to sow in once finished. Anyone with any tricks or tips to make that part less painful

Do0 you have this for left handed

Thank you so much for teaching us this pattern.

Thank you for a very well explained tutorial. Yours is easy to understand! 🥰

I’ve counted each sl st and it doesn’t add up correctly, some how with the 3rd row, I’ve ended up with less loops on my hook, please explain how to keep correct numbers

If you do 15 chains do you 15 rows ?

It would be nice if you could use a lighter color to show how to do the stitches. I have trouble seeing the stitches when darker colors are used. Thank you

Thank you for the video

I only just saw your video a few days ago and am already going well, although it took me a few tries. But I would like to know how you made the pillow...Please if you could show us how you made the backing etc... Thanks..

Bonjour. Merci beaucoup pour vos explications. C’est effectivement le meilleur tutoriel que j’ai trouvé sur e sujet. C’est clair, très détaillé et bien expliqué. Merci beaucoup. Pour ma part, 28 mailles pour un carré de 12x12 (crochet 3,5 mm). Bonne continuation

I'm not sure what it is about how I crochet but x-3 works for me to get the perfect square. Thank you for sharing these instructions I'm excited to work up a project!

Can you make a video explaining how to change colors in the middle areas? I'm wanting to make a graphgan but not sure what knots to do or how to hide the strands of yarn

I love this tutorial. I wanted to ask, if i were doing a graphgan, where some blocks are the same color and in the middle it changes, is it possible to use this technique? And do you recommend to do x amount of blocks of the same color side by side , or 1 large piece for that particular color.

Mine continues to curl all the way. From top to bottom. Just wondering if this is wrong or if there is a way to stop it?

In this time of uncertain Covid-19... I'm looking to learn a new skill... and Interlac is something that I always want it to learn......looking for a good video....I came across to your video and wow....so well explained, the camera is always at the right position and yours explanations are clear. Bravo and thanks. Take care.

Ah, thank you for the minus two thing. I was trying to do this yesterday and was having a bit of trouble trying to figure out when to stop.

Fantastic and wonderful together video. I have learned a lot. I would like to make a top. Thank you!

I am sooooooo appreciative for this video!!! Keep sharing please!! You inspired me to make a blanket ❤

VERY BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU 👏🎉👌👍🇲🇽😇🙏😘🌻

How do I add a 3rd or 4th color In??? I’m not sure where to start that ?? Please someone answer that knows

Wish I found this video instead of the one that I did would hsve been so much easier, thank you

I love this but so Hard for me I have to practice , thanks for the Video Help

What a brilliant demonstration. Well done ! I have 6 blankets on the go but as soon as l completed 2 if them l still start this Tunisian entrelac style. Ty.

Genius. Very easy to understand! Thank you ❤️

Snow man. Crotchet

This video tutorial is the best yet that I have watched thank you so much for sharing this technique

It is the best tutorial I found. You explain it so well. Thank you for sharing this video.

Good explication about this stich with good details. Thanks 😊

WOW! Really great video. Thanks so much.🧶

@TL Yarn Crafts. Eliminate the need for multiple balls of yarn

I would like to know how you do the 1/2 square around the edge.

Please tell me what yarn you're using mine is curling and it's driving me crazy. TIA

Love the blanket ,but you got me all confused with x-2

Perfect!!!! :) This is THE BEST explanation!

I like this pattern. Thank you for explaining so clearly. I have a question....why do you take off one on the return sometimes and two loops other times ? Cant wait to go yarn shopping to make a cushion. What size did you use? Thank you for sharing. 🙂

LOVE!!!! Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail to the very last square. Am an intermediate crocheter and new to tunisian crochet. This is a fabulous project and less complicated then it looks. Will be looking to learn new techniques once this project if finished 🤟💖

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful in understanding how to do it. You explain it quite well and I'm able to remember what I'm supposed to at the right time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤

Awesome video and explanation.. I've watched so many videos trying to get this to work. I'm not sure why, but this one is the trick!! thank you so much

which yarn

Thank you

Thank you

My concern is so many tails to weave in.

I finished one side of boxes for a small pillow to start as a project . And my squares did come out straight on all sides. I like Tunisian style crochet it doesnt hurt my wrists. Its more relaxing. Its a great way to use old scraps of yarn because each square can be different or the same. Lots of fun.😁💕

This video is well done! Excellent instruction!

I love this tutorial, well I explained

How do you keep the project from curling

Fantastic
