Will do it next week.

[@tinamccartney3778]

I have been avoiding this stitch as well. But I DID find an awesome teacher! If your videos get 60 yrs old, I will still watch them with awe and wonder! You're the best Mikey!

[@wolfprotector1384]

Mike don't ever leave! I have learned so much from you.

[@mrsmarciad]

Mikey you certainly are a good crochet teacher. Love all your work. London.

[@pamdarbonne3753]

This is my first time doing this stitch. I've doubled it. 14 stitches, 10 rows. This is crocheting the easy way. Absolutely LOVE it. Thank you, Mikey.

[@virginiahardy2010]

Every thing Mickie teaches is so good and clear. More than anyone else. Thanks!!!

[@MaryAnnVanMeter]

Mikey after subscribing to the crochet crowd and seeing all the great projects I am so excited and frankly don't know what I want to try first because up until a week ago most crochet projects scared me and seemed so intimidating until I found you Mikey. Your such a wonderful instructor, and you are so very gifted. I feel like heaven sent me Mikey. You are my hero!

[@Cassidy1136]

Hi, Mikey ... thanks to your clear, detailed, step-by-step instructions, I was able to get started right away and I've never had to take a look back at your video for help. Understanding the concept of the pattern is the secret and you've managed to paint a perfect picture. Thanks so much!

[@usafwxrwife1]

Yeah, so I tried following a couple different videos for this. (Popped up first when searched and also sent to me from someone else.) I should have known to just skip the rest and go straight to The Crochet Crowd to get a chance to actually learn it! :) Bravo as usual. Thanks for 'keepin' it real' and making new stitches/patterns easier to follow.

[@CLChantal]

It finally clicked for me! I didn't understand it for so long, even with the videos but for some reason, this morning, i was alone and quiet and it finally dawned on me! LOL Thanks Mikey! You're the best teacher!

[@Vincentahm84]

I am a self/youtube taught crocheter. I first attempted Entrelac a year ago and it was Entre-YUK but after being inspired by this video and MIkey's way of breaking it all down. I think I can finally pull if off! Hes hoping.

[@B1TCHY08]

As soon as I finish the afghan I'm working on, I will start this Entrelac. I've always wanted to learn how to tunisian crochet. Looks pretty simple... can't wait.

[@judithbenton1475]

Mikey, you are an awesome teacher. I was avoiding this stitch for a long time too but I am making afghans for Children's Hospital. Thanks for such a good job in your tutorial, even the straight edge. Thanks Mikey for also showing about the large square blocks. It all makes sense how to do it.

[@qalishasophie1393]

you're right mike,sometime what we need is a good teacher and there you are mike ... you're a best teacher for me .... so much love from Indonesia mike

[@rckitt3206]

I like this stitch. I wanted to get back into Tunishan crochet, but it been years since I've done it. I know I will run into issues, but I'll work at it, until get it down. Wonderful job Mike!!

[@eileenoconnell-briones7344]

[@kobielynn]

I have never done this type of crochet before but after watching your excellent video, I can't wait to try this out!!! This is the best crochet video I have ever watched!!! Very informative and easy to follow!!! Thankyou!!!

[@janetamrock1711]

I am a visual learner. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. Your directions are so clear and easy to follow. Just finished watching the whole video. In one word....AWESOME!!!

[@sumyraabid]

Ur a wonderful teacher and I love red heart yarn. I was a beginner when I started and everything I know I leaned from you. Now I can look at something and know how its done. Thank you and I hope u continue to make these wonderful videos. :)

[@vidapoorekhorsandi6453]

I've seen other Enterlac crochet videos too,but the way you explain is simply the best.It's simple and fun. Falling in love with your style.

[@Knittyneeds]

Wow Professor Mike. Sublime. You are really amazing.You have always been an excellent Prof. My dreams came true. I can NOW concentrate on learning ENTRELAC ( pronounced "ontre lak" BETWEEN LAKES in French). Most say EntreLOCK. So easy to follow, with great closeups and well explained. Fantastic. Thanks so much Mike and all the team for sharing. Hugs xxx

[@TheRisingStar9]

You teach really well. You make a complicated process very simple and clear. Thanks. Love watching your tutorials.

[@jamiecee4960]

I'm just a beginner and just made this stitch. Was pretty easy. Thank you for the easy instructions.

[@enidrayman743]

Thank you Mikey for your detailed explaination

[@cherylransier9944]

mike, you always make it so easy for us beginners that I tried tonight and thank you for the tutorial.

[@nakeasimone13]

I'm a beginner and u make this look so easy. You are a good teacher. I think I am going to practice on this stitch tonight

[@janaiahjones8317]

I have to agree on the type of teacher you have or the video you watch

[@maryhofacre8209]

Thank you, Mikey. I decided to give this a try as I am cold sheeping and using up all kinds of yarn. I found some and thought it would be fun to use for this.

[@LKLifestyles]

I was told this was a difficult stitch but I find it quick and easy thanks to this tutorial. I will play around with colors as[well as different size hooks. I think this was a great video. Thanks.

[@robinworden5417]

Great Video...I tried for years to figure this stitch out with written pattern. Your video made it easy...Thank you so much for all your time you put into these videos!!

[@misscam73]

i cant wait to try this afghan it looks fun to do

[@Newtonheimer]

Omg! I was always intimidated by Tunisian Crochet and you have made it so simple for me! Thank you so much! Love your tutorials and how you teach. You explain everything so well. This will be my next afghan! I wish you could add a third color but I can see that it wouldn’t work. Again, thank you! Much love from Texas ❤️!

[@juanitak789]

I would LOVE to see the back and how you weave in the ends to finish. This would also be good for those who have not done many crochet projects.

[@crazycowemma]

Thanks for this! I’m making one now, it’s looking fab. I did a bit of practise with some scrap yarn first as I wanted to use DK yarn and a smaller hook (5.5mm). Of course, a 5x5 square was too small so I did 10x10 (starting with a chain of 12 to account for the edges of each square). That’s given me a 2 inch square. I also found that pulling through two all the way across, (rather than pulling through the first one then two until the end) gives a much neater join to the surrounding squares.

[@nalodailec]

Wonderfully clear instructions. Thank you.

[@monachambers7153]

Morning Blessings.. Love dat Mikey from Crochet Crowd 💕 Yah!! 😍🙏

[@kenjanpo]

Hi Mikey! I have always been a HUGE fan of the afghan stitch and I love the fact that this pattern utilizes it. I have started to teach myself this pattern and tried 3 times. I was discourage at first but like you had said keep on going and you will see that it really starts to come together and it did. As they say 3 times the charm. Thank you for posting this :D

[@denverhorne6540]

I learn so much watching your tutorials. Thank you.

[@ilovstodance]

like the way the corners come together so neat and tidy thank you Michael

[@pitabella5]

How did you move to the next L space to complete another triangle? Did you slip stitch to the L or do you fasten off and then re fasten at the new L space? This is not what is covered. Btw: love the colors in your piece.

[@nana94533]

Norma Williams it IS covered - if no L, then make a chain first

[@janneknudsen4579]

[@omma321duprant]

[@lorifarwell437]

[@PegiNestor]

Thank you, Mikey! You've made this make so much sense. Love your teaching style. Can't wait to make one of these!

[@jayalmonte]

I hope that Coats & Clark knows what a great Red Heart yarn salesman you are! Your videos make me want to go out and buy some Red Heart yarn to get started right away!

[@diannadillinger8420]

[@stalkerkitty]

This always looked like it would be really difficult and complex but this makes it easy to understand and this wouldn't be hard to do at all. :] Thanks Mikey!

[@joannewanless4594]

I love watching your videos, I hadn't crocheted for years but watching you has inspired me, over the last couple of weeks I haven't stopped. I just wish I could get some of the yarns that you use here in the U.K. Keep up the good work, thank you

Thank you for doing such a great video, you explain things so we'll, and I love the fact that you told us to think of doing it in a granny square direction, the visual made so much more sense to understand! :)

[@rosellaerdmann9956]

[@flower26free]

thank you for your post and help michael

[@malainahelm778]

Thanks Mickey. Great tutorial!

[@tiffanyblack4233]

Mikey, you're my favorite crochet teacher! Could you show this, especially the transitions after the first 5-9 squares with bigger color-changing blocks? I'm getting confused but have been wanting to do this for a long time.

[@zannet66]

Wow ive sooooo got to try this !!! Mikey your a really good teacher x

[@jaybrown1721]

Omg that's awesome you are a great tutor thank you very much,can't wait to start a car blanket for my dad's birthday now 🙌 xx

[@SparkleChik5]

I have been following for you for years lol I have been crocheting since I was 9 and I thought I loved C2C but this is amazing!!!!!

[@twatkins614]

Great video! It was a breeze even for a lefty. Thanks

[@kathrynpless]

Wonderful tutorial! Covers everything! I really love your videos Mikey, they've helped me refresh my skills and learn lots of new ones. Can't wait to try this myself.

[@shandidavis6592]

your such a good teacher.. you explain everything so easy... I've learned alot from you :) :)

[@cbender8529]

absolutely great :) I am so grateful that you made this video and for your perfect explanation. Thanks a lot! Greetings from Germany

[@pitabella5]

Will you be showing us how to do the half triangles to give this a more finished look? I saw three versions on another channel but I got WAY confused! You explain and demonstrate patterns and stitches far better!

[@RicD.15208]

Hmmm. Seven stitches in the chain. Loch Ness monster is mentioned. Half of seven is: three fifty! Great instructional video, as always. I can't wait to start entrelac.

[@misagoodfellow8530]

This is amazing! I can't wait to finish my never ending granny square so I can try this!! :)

[@MsHcranom]

Hey Mikey, I LOVE YOU!!! You are so patient with us and showing the stitches, patterns, and ideas. What border would you suggest to uncurl a entrelac blanket?

[@crazycowemma]

After you’ve done the half squares to square off the blanket, perhaps do a round of double crochet (that’s treble crochet in the UK) in the same colour as the half squares and then pick a contrasting colour and do a round or two in that? Don’t forget to add an extra stitch or two in each corner when you are edging the blanket or it will pull the edges in.

[@TheSalami123]

Mikey love your work

[@christinecraft871]

As always Mikey, truly amazing and very informative tutorial. I've learned so much from you and I am so grateful for all that you do for us hookers :)

[@reginajohnson2202]

I love this pattern going yo try it today and see how I do with it thank you.

[@dianneclark3153]

Hi Mikey, I am a long time crocheter, taught by my wonderful grandmother at age 5! However, I'm literally just starting to learn Tunisian. I want to start with an Enterlac Afghan using TSS in the round. I've watched your video on this several times however, I'm so anxious to see your tutorial with the larger sections done with Transitional yarn in blue / purple type colors. At the end of the video I've watched, u refer to that piece and there is a picture displayed. U state that u will be teaching it on another tutorial soon. I'm wondering when, as I'm dying to see and learn that beauty! Thank U for your excellent instructional technique! Dianne

[@jennmichelle70]

I just want to get these thoughts out while I watch this for the thousandth time. If you're using one color, it seems that you still need to bind off, snip the yarn and start again a new corner, because this is not a true "round". Also, Mikey says it doesn't matter what corner you start in, but how can that be if the idea is to have the grains going in opposite directions? And if anyone is looking for tutorials, is is the best one I've seen so far. Those 2 and 3 minute ones are not teaching you anything--they're just advertising someone's website for patterns. I wish Mikey would do a follow up to this video!

[@bcgrote]

Yay! Last year's Fiber Frolic was canceled, and this was one of the lessons, we were sad to miss it. But now I can do it, and share this video with my friend! Is there a way to make a long strip? You'd probably have to tie it off every row once you got a base square wide enough for, say, a scarf? Hmmm, which yarns to use...

[@abbiehogg906]

I would also like to see the larger square version. Please
