Broomstick Lace

Broomstick Lace Allison Bourne – [email protected] The origins of Broomstick lace date back to the pioneer days. Women, while travelling in covered wagons west would use a crude crochet hook and the end of a broomstick or dowel. In the 60’s and 70’s is was reborn into a style of crochet called “jiffy lace”. The basic premise of the style is using a large knitting needle or dowel and a crochet hook that corresponds to your yarn. Those of us that got hooked on the ‘condo’ style of knitting will have the large knitting kneedles.. So pull them out and lets get started… Broomstick Lace is a repeat of 4 stitches. 4 x the number of Stitches + one for the base row. The base rows are worked in single crochet. http://www.stitchdiva.com has some really interesting patterns and tutorials. I will also be putting up a tutorial of our session on my blog http://knitmenace.typepad.com . Broomstick Technique Pull a loop up through the first stitch Slip the Loop onto the needle Continue across the row Slip the loops off of the Large needle Pick up the first four loops on your crochet hook. Single Crochet through all four loops Chain Three Place Three double crochet’s in the same space as the single crochet. Pickup four more loops and place 4 Double Crochet’s into the centre. Repeat. Making A scarf… Chain 60 + 1 for your turning row. Single Croche two rows to set the base of your scarf. Begin BroomStick. Continue until your scarf is the length you want. Single Crochet Two Rows to match your base row. .
