Entrelac is a knitting technique that results in a very interesting fabric of interconnecting squares.  
In this variation of the technique, a lace design has been inserted into alternating rows of squares. 
The basic design of this scarf starts by creating a garter stitch cuff, which starts with 3 stitches. 
Stitches are increased at the beginning of each row until there are 40 stitches.  
These are then divided into two sections to create the ribbed slot.  
After the slot is completed, the two sections are reconnected and then the entrelac section is worked. 
Stitches are added in each set of Entrelac squares until the desired number of stitches have been 
created the make the lace inserts in the Entrelac work.  
The end of the work reverses the process and decreases stitches in the squares until the desired number 
of stitches are reached for making the ending that repeats the beginning.  
The scarf is then worn by inserting one end of the scarf through the slot at the other end.
