Now that you have completed your first row in How to Crochet: Tunisian Entrelac (Part 1), you have a choice for your subsequent rows. You can turn your work (results in wrong sides being visible in the final project, but leaves fewer ends to leave in if working in one color). Or you can finish off then start at the beginning of the previous row without turning (leaves you with all right side rows but leaves more ends to weave in. This tutorial uses the latter method, but they both follow the same basic idea.

First Square
Start by chaining the number of stitches in a single row of a square. Since I’m using 4-stitch squares, I ch 4.

Forward Pass: YO, pull up a loop in second ch from hook and each ch across, pull up loop in first st on the edge of the first square in the previous row.

Return pass: (YO, pull through 2 loops on hook) across until one loop remains on hook.

Forward Pass (Rows 2-3): TSS in next 3 TSS, TSS in next st on edge of square

Return Pass (Rows 2-3): Work as row 1

Row 4: sl st in next 3 TSS, sl st in next st on edge of square

Remaining Squares

First row: Pull up a loop in next 4 edge stitches of square in previous row

Return Pass: (YO, pull through two loops on hook) across

Forward Pass (Rows 2-3): TSS in next 3 TSS, TSS in next st on edge of square

Return Pass (Rows 2-3): work as row 1

Row 4: sl st in next 3 TSS, sl st in next st on edge of square

Repeat to end of row.

And now you can repeat this row until your project is finished. If you need help, you can leave a comment below.
