A classic technique for Tunisian crochet lovers, intriguing, yet relatively easy to master, the entre-lac is a “must-have” skill everyone learning Tunisian crochet will want to try sooner or later. With this checked pillow cover you’ll have fun playing with colours while creating a delightfully decorative item.
This pattern is in ENGLISH and uses standard US crochet terminology and abbreviations.
