GC71108 Adven Entrelac Working in Rounds		QTY:
	by Carolyn Christmas. Have fun learning how to make Tunisian crochet entrelac beginning from the center and working outward in rounds to make a potholder, pillow and hat and scarf. Items shown made with worsted-weight cotton and acrylic yarns and a bulky yarn like Lion Brand Homespun, and can be made with Tunisian or regular crochet hooks. Entrelac is made block by block. In this pattern, we are working from the center outward, with each round of blocks growing a bit larger. Because the rows in Tunisian entrelac are so short, a Tunisian or afghan stitch hook is not necessarily needed; entrelac can be made with a regular crochet hook as well as a Tunisian hook.
