This month’s square focuses on entrelac, a unique knitting method that has the knitter creating little interlocking squares. It looks amazing, but truly is not particularly complicated.

Skills used and learned while knitting this square include pick up and knit, pick up and purl, decreases and (optionally) knitting and purling backward.

A note on yarn quantities: You’ll need about 37 yards each of 6 colors. If you choose to knit your square all in one color, this could easily be done with one skein of Cascade 220.
