Free Entrelac Knitting Patterns

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

I’ve created a roundup of some beautiful free entrelac knitting patterns. Of course, you can always browse the massive archive of free patterns on Ravelry to find more free entrelac knitting patterns. Many of these patterns are by established designers, so they shouldn’t have errors and should be well written. However, I have not tested them, so always check for errata to prevent future headaches!

Trying out a designer’s free pattern is a good way to get to know how the designer writes, so if you like his or her instructions and methods, you might feel more comfortable purchasing another pattern of theirs. Also, it is really easy to buy patterns on Ravelry!

From left to right, top to bottom:

Tenney Park by Elizabeth Morrison

Tenney Park, published in Knitty Deep Fall 2011, is an oldie but a goodie. The pattern comes in seven adult sizes, from XS to 3X, and uses 914 – 1372 m of sport weight yarn. This is a great pattern to use up scraps of sport weight yarn for the centre front panel. The close-fitted pullover has raglan sleeves and an entrelac panel on centre front. You work the main body in one piece, top-down and seamed to entrelac panel, which is worked separately.

Dancing Entrelac Cowl by Elizabeth Bartlett

The Dancing Entrelac Cowl uses about 400 m of aran weight yarn to create this beautiful accessory! This is a great pattern to play with different colour combinations. The pattern calls for one skein each of two contrasting colours, but a long-striping or gradient colourway would add visual interest.

Entrelac Tam by Mary Scott Huff

This entrelac tam uses aran weight yarn in two contrasting colours. It starts with a corrugated ribbing before starting the entrelac knitting. Just like the above cowl, the tam calls for two contrasting colours. A long-striping or gradient colourway would keep things interesting.

Basketcase Socks by Kate H

Why not throw some entrelac onto a pair of socks!? The Basketcase Socks have entrelac on the top of the foot and up the ankle, while having just stockinette on the sole and heel. The pattern uses about 325 m of fingering weight yarn to create a medium-sized sock. The toe-up pattern includes instructions for an afterthought heel.

Entrelac Scarf by Allison LoCicero

If you’ve evern wondered how to use Noro’s self-striping yarns, Allison LoCicero’s Entrelac Scarf is the perfect project for you! This scarf uses 400 m of aran weight yarn. As gauge is not important, this scarf is perfect for beginners!

Cabled Entrelac Hat & Mitts by Susie Bonell

If you’re not feeling like knitting those small entrelac squares, try this hat and mitt combo! They use 500 m of sport weight yarn to make one adult sized hat and mitts. The entrelac pattern results in the shape of the beanie by itself. The entrelac pattern goes a step further by adding some decorative cables for extra texture.

Entrelac Baby Blanket by Lion Brand Yarn

The Entrelac Baby Blanket uses about 1550 m of DK weight yarn. It calls for four colours of yarn, but you can use more or less depending on how you want the blanket to turn out. As the blanket is a much larger project than other ones listed here, use a circular needle to accommodate the large number of stitches. Work back and forth in rows on the circular needle to create the finished project. Gauge is also not as important for a blanket like this. By the time you’re finished, you’ll be a pro!

Landscapes Sweater by Universal Yarn

If you’re up for an entrelac challenge, try knitting the Landscapes Sweater! It uses 1259 – 2518 m of fingering weight yarn and includes six sizes, from XS/S up to 4X. This is a perfect project for gradient dyed yarn.

Large Drawstring Patchwork Bag by Nancy Fradenburgh

If garments aren’t your thing, try knitting the large drawstring patchwork bag. It uses about 622 m of bulky weight yarn, and would look good in one colour or multiple colours, depending on your preference. Once again, I think it would be the perfect project for long-striping yarn.
