Entrelac Cami

The idea was in my head – I have been hooked on Entrelac for many years - after saying I want to make one – I see someone ELSE didso, I contacted the enabler (Debbie Barisa) and she gave me a few hints as to whatI needed to do – THANK YOU DEBBIE – I knew I could count on you
TOFUtsies Entrelac Cami – 2 skeins so far
Use # 2 for the top tiers => gauge is 8 s & 9 ½ rUse # 2 ½ for the middle tiers => gauge is s & rUse # 3 for the bottom tiers => gauge is s & r

SWATCH with a #2 to see how many squares I will need for the top CAST ON 20do an entrelac square = will need 16 squares
