Get locked into entrelac in the round! Create woven like patchwork patterns using this fun knitting technique to add some detail to a cuff of a sweater, mitten, sock or hat. Entrelac is a great technique to use small leftovers or mini skeins in your stash to make what looks like slanting knit patches. Working this in the round is a much easier method than knitting it flat – plus who doesn’t like working seamlessly in the round!
