It’s a bit fiddly, but easy to pick up – although I might take that back when I’ve finished it and it all turns out to be a disaster! Can’t be impossible, right? Actually it’s not. I spotted a lovely scarf over on Ravelry (you’ll need to be logged in) recently, and thought I’d have a go. It’s not really lace as such, but crochet, made over a ‘broomstick’: So, I’ve been seeing odd pieces of broomstick lace cropping up for a while now. The rest of this page has my original post, but I thought the above might help you get the information you wanted a bit quicker. I used a very fat knitting needle as my ‘broomstick’, but I’ve seen other people use a ruler.Īnd that’s it really.I usually add a picot every 4 or 5 stitches too, just to liven it up a bit. I also crochet around the edges of the whole thing at the end, because it stops me worrying about the edges snagging on something when its worn.Also it gives it a bit more structure, which is good for an ‘every day’ scarf. After every row of broomstick lace I do a row of double crochet – you don’t have to, but I quite like the stripes it creates.I find less ‘fluffy’ yarns are best, to make the most of the pattern.Few other things that are useful to know: I must confess, I’ve only watched part one, as it was all I needed to get going.
I have a feeling you might be looking for a tutorial video, in which case, I used this one, and found it very good. Hello, did you come here via a google search for Broomstick lace? If so, thanks for coming, it’s lovely to meet you.
