Learn how to do Entrelac in Rows. The pattern looks pretty detailed, and it is, but I will help you break it down to bite sizes to make it easier.
For myself, I started my sample in an airport and thought I was way off track. I just needed to concentrate for the first few rows, and everything clicked.
If you have a different Bernat, Red Heart or Caron yarn and want to change the size of this blanket. The stitch multiple is 10 chains + 13. Ensure you use at least 2 sizes bigger than the recommended hook size with a Tunisian Afghan Hook.

Love your videos. You are a great teacher. You make a complicated technique very understandable and very do-able.
Do you have the measurements for the larger squares? I followed your guidelines and have made a few baby sized 'around the world' entrelac but now I want to make one with larger squares as a laprobe for an elderly person.
Also, do you have any suggestions about how to make the back of an entrelac or any tunisian for that matter, look more finished? I'm never happy with the reverse side.
Keep up the good work Mikey. The crochet world needs you!

The reverse side looks like knitting in garter stitching. It's the best it will ever be. If you are not happy with the backside, you may want to choose a different idea completely, unfortunately.
The squares are about 2.5" x 2.5". You can just make it bigger by continuing in the rounds.

Would love to make a left handed Tunisian Entralac but can not find a slow you tube / video can you help pleas thankyou
Mikey says
I do have left-handed on the channel, I try to teach at the right speed but if it's too quick, you can change the player speed by using the gear at the bottom of the player window to slow it down. I don't have anything slower than what you see. I'm sorry.
