BY EUNNY JANG

ntrelac is a knitting technique that produces a fabric with a woven appearance—tiers of tilting blocks appear to run over and under each other. But the fabric is actually worked all in one piece as a series of interconnecting rectangles. Also called Epatchwork knitting, basketweave knitting, or birch-bark patterning, entrelac can stand on its own in garter or stockinette stitch, or it can provide an interesting framework for other texture or color-work techniques.

See the sock pattern on page 30.

noteS u These socks are made in entrelac. See page 3 to learn more about this technique. u These socks are knitted from the toe up. u To reduce the number of ends left to weave in, carry the unused color along the wrong side as you work the first unit of each tier, catching the two colors together at the selvedge of the first unit, so the unused color will be in the correct position the next time it is needed. u You may find it helpful to place the stitches of the unit you are working on the same needle as the stitches that are being joined to the unit in progress.
