Entrelac cro­chet is a cap­ti­vat­ing tech­nique that cre­ates a tex­tured and woven appear­ance. The dis­tinc­tive inter­lock­ing blocks mim­ic the look of a bas­ketweave, mak­ing it the per­fect choice for an eye-catch­ing cro­chet baby blan­ket. This tuto­r­i­al will take you from your first stitch to com­plet­ing a beau­ti­ful project. For a por­tion of the tuto­r­i­al, you’ll need a reg­u­lar cro­chet hook and a Tunisian cro­chet hook. This project is an excel­lent intro­duc­tion to Tunisian cro­chet if you’ve nev­er tried it before.
