The base entrelac triangles are finished.

Now that you have one base triangle complete, just repeat the process, in this case on the next 8 stitches and again on the final 8 stitches, until all stitches have been worked and you are left with three triangles on the needle.

If you are working a project that requires more stitches in each triangle, they're still worked the same way.

Your project will look a little funny at this point, with the stitches on the needle spread out from each other and the individual triangles only slightly connected to each other. Don't worry; after the next set of blocks things will look just fine.

From here, proceed to the tutorial on working a left-edge triangle, which will ensure that the side of your knit fabric is straight.
