Oh my , thank God I finally found your channel, thank you so much for your tutorial. I have yarn but couldn’t figure it out how to make a blanket like this . Again thank you so much for teaching so nicely.

@CraftersAutonomous Месяц назад

Aw, I'm so glad this video was helpful for you! What yarn are you planning to use? I love how different yarns can create such neat effects in the entrelac design. :)

@mumzeehm Месяц назад

@@CraftersAutonomous I am going to use Caron jumbo by yarnspirations. Colour is peacock varg . When I am done with the blanket I will send you the picture.

Thank you. I knew it could be done I just couldn't figure it out myself. This is an amazing tutorial. Can't wait to start on it.

I love this way of doing the entrelac.

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

It's such a fun texture! Glad you enjoyed the video.

@TheSageisBack 5 лет назад

Wow... I've used this same technique to experiment with a hat pattern. When I got to the edges to square it off, I had to remembe r to make sure to check that the back sides and the front sides continued to alternate... that's where it got to be a bit more tricky in terms of having to avoid weaving in extra ends.

Very well done tutorial. Love doing Entrelac!

@KahudMom 5 лет назад

Hi, love this version of the entrelac blanket. Can you tell me, how many groups of 11 did you use for the baby blanket, and what are the dimensions of the finished blanket? Thanks in advance :)

@CraftersAutonomous 5 лет назад

Sure! My blanket is about 16" wide which is 8 blocks / groups of 11, and about 21" long after 21 rows of blocks. If I were to do this project again, I would make mine wider; I would aim for 20" which would be about 10 blocks wide with my gauge. I hope this helps you!

@marychristoffersen3951 3 года назад

I was excited when I saw your video!! I had already started doing the alternative entrelac afghan. I love the different pattern that it makes with the vertical bars on one row and the bumps on the next row. I am going to fill in the valleys when I get to the end so that I can create a border all the way around. 😊

@CraftersAutonomous 3 года назад

Awesome! I love how this variation lets me work the rows back and forth - it also means less of those pesky ends to weave in haha Your project sounds lovely!

@deeturner7845 6 лет назад

Awesome Tutorial!!!!! You're a fabulous teacher! Do you have a tutorial on the triangles for the gaps around the outer edges to make it look more complete? Once again, I'm so glad I stumbled upon your tutorial. Great job of explaining how to do this. I'm grinning from ear to ear!

@CraftersAutonomous 6 лет назад

I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed this tutorial! While I don't have a video that exclusively teaches how to fill in the edges with the triangles, I do have the following video where I incorporate the triangle technique into a project: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PLzCm4TWcfI.html The link should start at the part of the project where I'm explaining how to make the triangles. Let me know if this helps!

Love Bernat Pop! It's great yarn

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

I haven't worked with it since this project, but I really should start something with this yarn! It really is such a lovely material to work with.

@jlee294 Год назад

Thank you for sharing this I have recently become addicted to Tunisian crochet and now Entralac. I like the ridges on your blanket. What makes that happen? 🌷

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

I think the ridges are because I use one continuous piece of yarn and turn my work. Whereas in traditional Entrelac, you work all rows in the same direction, which means the yarn has to be disconnected and rejoined for each row.

@allandewar6743 2 месяца назад

Great video thanks. I suggest going up to at least a 7mm hook to help with the curling problem. That’s my husbands photo but I am Laurel from NZ.

@CraftersAutonomous 2 месяца назад

Hi, Laurel! Yes, great idea to go up in hook size to prevent curling! Thanks for watching.

@Sepulchre_Gate 5 лет назад

I've never seen anybody reverse the project during entrelac before . Did you do that to make the piece reversible or help reduce the curl ?

@CraftersAutonomous 5 лет назад

My main reason for reversing was to keep the project simple. Since I was using a multi-colored cake, I wanted to take advantage of the natural color changes. By reversing, I didn't need to detach and re-attach the yarn, and the colors could change on their own. But I do think the curl is less than on normal tunisian entrelac. Thanks for the great question!

@lizellelabuschagne4015 4 года назад

Hi there,Ive never made a blanket before and would really love to try this. I would like to know how you stitch the rows together please.

@CraftersAutonomous 4 года назад

Hi! For this project, the rows are worked directly into each other, so you don't have to sew them together. The project is made as one piece, working rows of squares back and forth. Around the 5 minute mark I show how to work the first row of blocks, and then around the 13 minute mark I show how to work the next row. Just keep repeating the process to make as many rows as you want! If you have any other questions or get stuck following the tutorial, leave a comment and I'll do my best to help!

@lizellelabuschagne4015 4 года назад

O I see. Thanks so much😁 Looking forward to making it.

@rebeccaaustin1975 Год назад

Can some please answer my question on why it's not working with a chain of 88 +1

@rebeccaaustin1975 Год назад

The blanket you done in the background how many chains have you got please answer me asap so for asking you to answer me asap it just I get ignored

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

Sorry it's taken me a bit to respond. I think the blanket in the background has 8 blocks, which would mean the starting chain needs to be 8*11 + 1. So 89 chains to start.

@seasailor3265 3 года назад

What about the edge? Do you just leave it like that or you make other stitches on each of the edges? Please answer

@CraftersAutonomous 3 года назад

It's really up to you! I typically leave the edge as is, but you could crochet a border along the edge, like single crochet stitches. Another option is to "fill in" the jagged edges with a triangle shape to create smooth edges. In this project ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PLzCm4TWcfI.html I show a method to fill in the triangle edges of entrelac.

@seasailor3265 3 года назад

@@CraftersAutonomous thank you so much 💖

@lizherrman5001 2 года назад

How do you measure the length after you have the width like if you have 4 blocks and 4 rows do you measure the 2 blocks up and down or diagonally the 4 blocks thanks Liz

@CraftersAutonomous 2 года назад

Personally I would measure the 4 blocks that make a "row" that's kind of like a bunch of diamonds touching just at the points. Then the next row up would be 4 more blocks and those 4 blocks would be the same width, just shifted over a little bit because of the way the squares nestle together. But really, I think it comes down to what you're making and what measurements you're trying to achieve. Hope that helps!

@rebeccaaustin1975 Год назад

How many chains do I need for a 10 blocks blanket can some answer and tell me how many chains I need

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

So it would be 10 times 11, and then add 1 more chain. So 111 chains to start.

@lindaeibert677 5 лет назад

I would like to make my blocks 15 stitches so how many do I chain for the starting chain?

@CraftersAutonomous 5 лет назад

Great question! After playing around with the design, I think I've figured out how to make this work. If we don't count the loop at the end of the row that goes into the side, the design in the video is 6 stitches wide by 6 rows tall and calls for 11 chains for each block. With the same idea, if we want our blocks 15 stitches by 15 rows (top/15th row being the slip stitch/fasten off row) we need 15 + 15 - 1 chains or more simply 29 chains. This concept should work for any size block. Double the number of stitches you want and subtract one. Then, follow the pattern concept, and you should be good to go!

@lindaeibert677 5 лет назад

Crafters Autonomous Thank you.I will try that formula. I’m horrible at math lol

@CraftersAutonomous 5 лет назад

@@lindaeibert677 haha I love math, but I still had to pull out some yarn and figure it out visually lol Crochet math gets confusing quick!

@jenniferfatzinger7714 Год назад

How many blocks for a blanket did you do?

@CraftersAutonomous Год назад

Off the top of my head, I'm not positive. But if i had to guess, I probably did about 16 blocks wide for a baby blanket. The blanket ended up about 28inches wide if I remember correctly.

@lindaeibert677 5 лет назад

Quick question...if your 1st row has 11squares does the 2nd row have 12 squares? If’s that’s the case would all odd # rows have 11 squares and all even rows have 12 squares? Thank the

@lindaeibert677 5 лет назад

I meant thank you

@CraftersAutonomous 5 лет назад

Actually, all the rows will have the same number of squares. If we added an extra square in a row, we would be too far "beyond" the previous row and would end up adding squares when we crochet the following row. The squares "nestle" together. Does that help?

@lindaeibert677 5 лет назад

What seems to happen? Do you end up with too many chains or too few chains? Or is something else causing an issue? Maybe I can help you troubleshoot!

@lizherrman5001 2 года назад

How would you change colors if doing 2 color stripes????

@CraftersAutonomous 2 года назад

If it were me, I would detach the first color at the end of my first row of blocks and then attach a new color for my second row of blocks. I like to attach my new color by creating a slip knot in the yarn, inserting my hook where I want to work, putting the slip knot onto my hook, and then pulling the slip knot up to create my first stitch. Hope that makes sense :)

@suzannemix2528 3 года назад

For you have instructions for changing colors?

@CraftersAutonomous 3 года назад

So the yarn I used in this project was variegated, meaning the color of the yarn changed on its own. Here are a few videos that show methods for changing yarn color that might help: Changing color in middle of row: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vZta0JbvF9w.html Changing color at end of row: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mVtEfQ5-5nI.html Changing color with Tunisian crochet: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YwYu7FQaHsc.html I hope these help!
