Description
This colorful, popular quilt pattern is interpreted in your choice of two entrelac methods for a truly spectacular showpiece. The entrelac blocks on each round grow outward from the crocheted pinwheel center to create a large round motif that is finished with your choice of a small edging or optional striped corners.

This pattern features instructions for making the entrelac segment of the design in either single crochet entrelac or Tunisian crochet entrelac. Single crochet entrelac worsted-weight afghan is made with size J hook; Tunisian entrelac baby afghan is made with size K Tunisian hook and size H standard hook. Made with smaller hooks or larger yarns for a more dense fabric, this design also makes a gorgeous wall hanging-instructions for making and mounting a crocheted wall hanging with this design are included in this pattern.
