Entrelac Afghan + Video Tutorial
Entrelac Crochet is the art of creating gorgeous afghans that have boxed shapes that grow with each other. The concept is really easy once you understand the concept and stitch counts.
I've filmed a video showing the step by step process of creating an Entrelac Crochet Afghan. In the original pattern, you will see the edges are in points. In the last bit of my video tutorial, I show you how to make the edges straight as it's more desirable amongst crocheters.
You may become addicted to this concept... I know I am 'hooked'!
Download the PDF Pattern to Follow. The pattern is using Caron Cakes but the method is still the same.

This is my first attempt at the entrelac pattern. It looks so complicated and reading the instructions was a bit confusing, however after watching this video, I was amazed how easy it really is. Thank you for the amazing video. I used a chain 12 starting chain and 11 rows for the first block and from there I just followed your instructions to start making my project larger. Thanks again, Mikey.
Kim D says
I would like to do larger squares and use variegated yarn like the James C Brett in your picture. How do I determine the number of chains for a rectangular blanket? How many chains do I work with per block? Thank you.

Mikey,
Is there a print tutorial for the crochet entrelac? I learn better from printable sources than video
beena sahadevan says
do i need to fasten off at the end of each row if i'm using caron cakes
Laura Jean Bartholomew says
Yes, because if you try slip stitching to the next spot it is quite obvious. - LJ

Thanks so much. I've been crocheting for over 50 years but have not tried this. I'm planning to make a minecraft hat as a Christmas gift and this will make it so much easier to do the graph. Thanks Mikey, you ROCK!!!!
Blake Greene says
Ok so I really love this pattern and thank you so much for doing a tutorial on this. Though my question that I have is I want to do a really big square say like 20 loops would it still work I assume that it would but just looking for some clarity. Thank you Mikey!!!!
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says

Jennifer says
I am making a king sized blanket using this pattern. I just want to say thank you so much for teaching me Enrelac. Great video and so easy to follow along. Thank you for all you do.
Maggie says
Wonderful, I cant wait to try it 🙂
Annmarie Hayes says
I found this quite hard to master, I've watched the video about 4-5 times to get the required look, I think this is down to me. Loved the video, but In some places you can't see which stitch you put it in as the project is in the way. Can't wait to try the bigger version x
Lynda says
I have been very reluctant to try this because it looked great but I thought it would be hard to do, I was wrong thanks to Mikey and his video it's not hard to do at all
Betty Wiley-Davis says
Bang on Mikey. I look for your video tutorials when I need help. I like the larger entrelac squares so i experimented with 10 and 12 stitches across and 10 lines up a down.. I am currently making a lapghan with the 10 stitch square. Thanks Mikey 🙂
Louise Landers says
I think I found a mistake in your video. My first time trying this method of crocheting and I really like it. Where am I post this where you will be able to see the picture of the little change? It makes it more smooth without all the extra baggage where the square attaches to the previous row.
Sharla says
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to show this to us.
Debbie says
