Hygge in a square: Entrelac knitting

Whether poncho, skirt, gloves, or socks, whether plain or colorful: With its sophisticated braided patterns composed of individual squares, this knitwear looks incredibly modern. But entrelac is an old, almost forgotten knitting technique from Scandinavia, rediscovered by Mette Hovden and Heidi Eikeland:

• Braided pattern with special effect: comprehensive introduction to the technique of entrelac knitting

• Easier than you think: thanks to detailed instructions, it is also suitable for knitting beginners

• Unmistakable checkerboard look: Modern designs for a centuries-old knitting technique

• For the whole family: 40 entrelac patterns for hats, scarves, wrist warmers, sweaters and dresses

• Learn the Norwegian variation: knit in stockinette stitch without turning and without multiple fastenings

Tradition rediscovered: Knitting in a “checkerboard look”

Sisters Mette Hovden and Heidi Eikeland have been knitting since childhood. Several years ago, they published a book on the ancient entrelac knitting technique in their native Norway. Now, with their knitting book "Nadelspiel" (Needle Game) and their self-designed knitting patterns with a Scandinavian touch, they are popularizing this traditional, magical handcrafting technique in Germany. The knitting sisters are passionate about creating beautiful, everyday garments that can be knitted quickly and easily, even by beginners. Each pattern also includes tips for adjusting the size – a real challenge with the entrelac braid patterns!

This ancient Scandinavian knitting technique offers a wonderfully modern interpretation – let your needles dance and knit distinctive garments and accessories in a "checkerboard look" – square by square!
