Learning Entrelac knitting

Entrelac knitting is such an intriguing knitting pattern!  You look at it and the first thing you do is try figure out how do the colours interact with one another and what is the technique behind it. Entrelac may seem complex, but once  you create a base for it which is a set of triangles, you pick up the stitches of the side of each triangle and by working the rows, your stitches will be slanting to the right or left depending on what side you are with your knitting project.

It is very handy to use an entralac diagram as a reminder in which direction your knitting is going:

Working with the shades of gray, PATONS wool (50%wool, 30%acrylic, 20%alpaca), the Entrelac knitting works wonders on this wool. It accentuates the different colour shades, making any garment stand out!
