For those who are familiar with Tunisian Entrelac, you will have a head start.The Offset Saloniki Square is part of the Tunisian Blanket CAL 2021 organized by Arunima from Knitter Knotter. I will have tutorials coming in the future to demonstrate this and show you how to go around. Once the first row is established, you will just rotate around the centre row as if it’s like the one square. Obviously, if you use regular or thinner yarns, it will take longer to finish your project. Keep in mind that thicker, chunky yarn, will produce much bigger boxes which will make your afghans grow much faster. As long as the proper number of boxes are in place in the centre point, it will grow properly.

In my test, I realized it doesn’t matter what size yarn or hook I am using because what is important is the number of boxes needed to establish the centre row. It produced Entrelac boxes that were 2.75″ x 2.75″. By creating the row first, your centre point is revolving around the entire row from the very beginning causing all sides to grow evenly around it. The trick to the rectangular version is that you have to create the number of boxes in a row down the centre of the afghan instead of there just being one as you see in the colourful example. Free Pattern: Entrelac Trip Around the World Afghan Entrelac Rectangular Afghansįirstly, the Entrelac afghan I am suggesting is done in a continuous rotation around the centre point. Use the Entrelac Trip Around the World to understand the square version. Then go around the first layer like you would as if it is square. You have the starting number of boxes in the middle to do first. The rectangular is done similarly to the square. I’ve done this before guessing the chain length of an interior of an afghan hoping that each side grows proportionally for the bed so that no matter what you do or how big you make it, it will fit your bed perfectly. What is wrong? Chances are the granny square matches one direction of your bed but is too short in the other because it’s a square. Visualize a granny square that is the size of your bed.
