This is the Shawl that I use to teach Entrelac in my classes. It is written in simple knit language and is an easy pattern to follow. It does include the Leaf Option for the center tier of the shawl. It will perhaps take a bit more skill to do that one, but make a plain one to get the technique and then come back and do the Leaf version.
You can use a lovely slow variegating yarn or use 3 solid colors. It is your choice.
It is made across the long edge and only has a Foundation Tier, 5 regular Tiers and a Top Tier.
Finished Measurements: Unblocked -- 52” across length x 15” deep, Blocked -- 66” x 18 1/2”
