  • Crocheted Broomstick Lace Bracelet with Marly Bird
    Crocheted Broomstick Lace Bracelet with Marly Bird Chapter 1 - Broomstick Lace Bracelet Make Broomstick Lace Bracelet - Hi, I'm Marly Bird, proud spokesperson for Red Heart Yarns, ^and I'm gonna show you how to do the broomstick lace. ^This is a pretty little pattern ^that stitches up really quick. ^For this cuff, I am using Creme de la Creme cotton, and you only need one color but I'm showing you two different colors. I'm using a G crochet hook, a pair of scissors, a tapestry needle, and you only need one knitting needle, anywhere size from a US 17 to a US 50. As you can imagine, this lace stitch got its name from actual broomsticks. Back in the day, they used to use broomsticks to create this beautiful stitch pattern. That's why these knitting needles are so large. The stitch pattern itself is determined, the size is determined by the size of the needle. I'm using a US size 19. We're gonna begin with a slipknot on our hook, and then we're gonna chain 12. For this particular broomstick pattern, we're doing a multiple of four stitches, meaning we're gonna have four loops per broomstick. It's possible to put five, six, seven, eight, how many loops you want. It all depends on whatever pattern you're going to be using. Once you have 12, extend the final loop that's on your hook, and we're gonna place that loop directly onto the knitting needle. Once it's on your knitting needle, you're gonna have to readjust so that way you're holding your knitting needle, and your work is coming out towards the right if you're right-handed, towards the left if you're left-handed.
