Making sure all your loops are even may take a few tries-I definitely didn’t get it on the first attempt! To work your loops off the needle, work as follows: Step 3: Now comes the tricky part: working the loops off the needle without allowing them to shrink. Draw this loop up to the height of the previous loop repeat from * across until you have the correct number of loops on your needle (22), turn. This step may be a little trying because the yarn wants to slip off the needle, but stick with it. (All of the loops you place on the needle should slide easily over the wider part of the needle.) *Skip the first stitch, working through the front loops only (flo), insert the needle in the next stitch, yarn over the needle and pull loop through. Step 2: Remove the last loop from the hook and place the loop on the needle. Note that I’m using a slightly larger yarn, hook, and needle than called for to make everything easier to see. Step 1: Work the foundation chain (ch 23) and set-up row as stated in the Stitch Guide (22 sc). Let’s walk through the steps together so you can get the hang of this method. If you’re a broomstick lace beginner, it may seem a little intimidating, but you’ll be able to pick it up in no time!

The “front loop” will drop down to form a ridge along the row.Broomstick lace, also known as jiffy lace or the peacock stitch, creates a lacy fabric that can be used for just about anything. Work 2sc into the “back loop” of each chain. Turn the work to crochet back along the tops of the chains. They are all “chained” together, hence the name of this stitch.ĭraw the working yarn through the loops on the hook and ch1. The tops of the loops look a bit like the tops of large crochet stitches, with a front loop and back loop. Repeat from * until no more loops remain. Draw them through the loops held on the hook. The first two loops are now unable to unravel. Using your hook to make things easier, draw the second two loops through the first two loops. Hold the first two loops as if they are one and the second two loops as if they are one. slide off the first loops worked and not the last). Slide the next 4 loops off the ruler and repeat from * until no loops remain on the ruler.īegin at the other end of the ruler than where you have finished (i.e. Now cross the first loop in front of the two loops just worked and sc into it. Insert hook through the 3 rd loop and draw up a loop using the working yarn, ch1 (does not count as a stitch). Slide the last 4 loops just worked off the ruler. Slide the next loop off the ruler and repeat from * until no loops remain on the ruler. Insert hook and draw up a loop, ch1 (does not count as a stitch). Slide the last loop just worked off the ruler. Make sure that each time you are doing the half twist in the same direction as the first half twist. Now slide the next 5 loops off the ruler and repeat from * until no loops remain on the ruler. Insert hook through the loops and draw up a loop using the working yarn, ch1 (does not count as a stitch). Holding them all together, give them a half twist. Slide the last 5 loops just worked off the ruler.
