PATTERN NOTES
Weave in loose ends as work progresses.
Entrelac crochet is worked by forming color strips comprised of a series of squares turned on their points. Always work Entrelac crochet with the right side facing; never turn your work.
When 1 strip is completed, fasten off that color, join new color at beginning of strip and start a new strip. The colors will alternate in the order A, B and C.
Every other strip will begin with a triangle (this creates even edges).
Each row in a square or triangle begins with
a forward pass (adding loops to the hook).
