This is a fun variation of entrelac that looks like plaid. “Plaid” is created by the use of a specific type of color combination where Color A + Color B = Color C. Imagine equal amounts of paint in colors A and B. If stirred together they would create color C.
 
Susan’s innovative approach eliminates the “pick up as to purl” step when doing right leaning squares, as well as the need to do decreases as you work each square. This makes the knitting more efficient. The process may seem complicated at first glance, but it is just simple knitting and purling.
 
Four sizes and two different variations (simplified and true Buffalo Plaid) are included.  By request, the large gold bag will be our focus, but select the bag that you wish to work on.  
 

Skills needed: knit, purl, pick up sts

Purchase the pattern on Ravelry: Plaid Squared ($7).  Only print the pages needed for the bag you are knitting.

There will be additional information sent to you prior to class.  Be sure to include contact information when you register.

Supplies Needed: 

Worsted weight wool yarn that will felt is required.  Cascade 220 is an excellent choice and has been used in all samples.  Yarn amounts vary but most use one skein each of colors A and B, and 2 skeins of color C.

Shop the Cascade 220 HERE and HERE. Our staff can help you get everything you need to craft this project - just let us know how we can help!

Waste yarn will be used throughout.  Worsted or DK weight cotton yarn is preferred.  

 Needles in sz 8 and 9; dpns may be preferred for certain sections because of small stitch counts.  

 Leather handles are shown on the large bag, but instructions for knitted handles are also included.
