Pattern of Entrelac Tunisian Crochet
Make a slip knot, start with multiple number of 3 + chain 2, in this tutorial we start with 20 chains.
Insert your hook into the first chain, draw up a loop, and leave it on the hook. Move to the next chain, insert the hook, pull up another loop, and keep it on the hook as well. Repeat this process across all the chains until you reach the end, ensuring you maintain all loops on the hook. [At this point, you should have 20 loops on your hook.]
Yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through 2 loops, continue this way across until the end. [here you have 1 loop on your hook]
Yarn over, insert the hook into the next loop, and pull up a loop. Insert the hook into the following loop and pull up another loop. Repeat this step once more so you have 5 loops on your hook. Take the 4th loop from the hook and pass it over the next 3 loops. Yarn over again, insert the hook into the next loop, and pull up a loop. Repeat this process—pulling up loops and passing the 4th loop over the next 3—until you reach the last loop. Once at the end, insert the hook into the final loop and pull up a loop. [At this point, you should have 20 loops on your hook.]
Repeat the two previous steps until reach the desired length.
