Discover the beautiful world of Entrelac Crochet with Mat from Skein Machine!
In this hands-on, three-hour workshop, Mat will introduce you to the basics of Tunisian crochet and guide you through creating your very own Entrelac crochet sample. This clever technique creates a stunning woven effect using squares and diamonds, making it perfect for colourful, eye-catching projects.
One of the best things about Entrelac Crochet is its versatility — and its fantastic stash-busting potential! Grab a few leftover bits of yarn in contrasting colours and turn them into something spectacular. From scarves and cowls to hats, blankets and garments, the possibilities are endless.
Mat will walk you through each step, sharing his knowledge, offering plenty of support and helping you build the confidence to take your new skills home and put them to use in your next project.
