Entrelac Entrelac is one of the great tricks of the knitting world. Is it woven? Does it involve a lot of sewing? None of the above. You'll work with self-striping yarn which creates the illusion that each small section is made from a separate yarn source, when in fact you'll be working with one continuous strand. It's also a great opportunity to try the option of knitting back backwards so that you can work with the right side of the piece facing you at all times. Choose the wide shawl version or a narrower scarf version and finish with an elegant knotted fringe.
