Entrelac in the Round
What it's About: Discover how to create a basket-weave effect with your knitting. In this project-based, introductory class, you’ll learn how to knit entrelac in-the-round while making a wrist warmer. Optional: After class you have the option to turn your wrist warmer into a mitten. (Yarniversity will purchase a copy of Holli's Pulse Point Entrelac mitten pattern for all participants.)
This 3-hour workshop takes place on Saturday, November 9 starting at 12:00 pm PST, 1:00 pm MST, 2:00 pm CST, 3:00 pm EST, 4:00 pm AST.
Skill Level - Intermediate: you are comfortable knitting in the round, are familiar with different kinds of decreases (k2tog, ssk) and you have picked up stitches along a knitted edge before (e.g. neckline edge, sock gussets, button bands).

With MC* and 3.25 mm (US 3) needle, cast on 34 sts. Join to work in the round being careful not to twist sts and place marker for end of round.

* If you’re planning turning your cuff into mittens after class, MC is the main mitten
