Free Crochet Pattern – Entrelac Afghan

Are you looking for a cozy and stylish crochet baby blanket pattern? Look no further than this free marled entrelac pattern from Red Heart Super Saver O’Go. The soothing tones of this design will make a perfect addition to any nursery.

An Entrelac Afghan is a type of knitted or crocheted blanket that is made using a unique technique that creates a basketweave or diamond-shaped pattern. Entrelac is a French word that means “interlace” or “weave”, and the technique involves knitting or crocheting small squares or triangles in a modular fashion that are then joined together to form larger rectangles.

In an Entrelac Afghan, the squares or triangles are arranged in a diagonal pattern, with each row starting with a small triangle and ending with a larger rectangle. The result is a visually striking design that resembles a series of interconnected diamonds or baskets.

Entrelac Afghans can be made in a variety of colors and yarn weights, and the technique is versatile enough to be used for other types of projects like scarves, shawls, and bags. While the Entrelac technique may seem complex at first, it is actually quite simple once you get the hang of it, and it can be a fun and rewarding way to create a unique and beautiful blanket or accessory.

The pattern requires 5 balls of main color and 6 balls of border color. You will also need a crochet hook L-11 (8 mm) to complete this project.

As a pro tip, when making crochet blankets, I always make sure to use a soft and durable yarn to ensure it can withstand regular use. I also like to block my finished blanket to give it a professional look and to make sure the edges lay flat.

When it comes to gifting crochet blankets, I recommend wrapping it in a clear cellophane bag and tying it with a ribbon or yarn. This allows the recipient to see the beautiful design and makes it easy for them to use it right away. You can also add a tag with the care instructions and the name of the blanket pattern. Happy crocheting!
