Pleached trees are created by training trees to a square frame,
tying in and interlacing flexible young shoots along a supporting framework learn more about the technique here

This square is worked one color at a time using the entrelac technique, but the result is the appearance of an entwined square!

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
12×12” square (30.5 cm square)

GAUGE
16 sts / 12 rows = 4” (10 cm)
in Tunisian Simple Stitch with smaller hook

MATERIALS
Worsted weight yarn in two colors. The sample uses Knit Picks/We Crochet Swish Worsted in two colors. This yarn is 100% Superwash Merino, 270 yds (247 m) per 50 g ball. 75 yds (68 m) of Color 1 (Sample used Cobblestone Heather), 70 yds (64 m) of Color 2 (Sample used Garnet Heather)
Crochet hook size K (6.5 mm)
Crochet hook size 7.0 mm for starting chain, or size 0.5-1mm larger than gauge hook

NOTES
Because the entrelac squares are not very wide, you can use a regular crochet hook to complete them. Please note that if you use an ergonomic hook with a grip very close to the head of the hook your stitches will be very bunched up. Choose a hook with space for 11 loops on it.
