BROOMSTICK LACE
Try your hand at a new stitch with this lacy fabric—broomstick optional.
BY ELLEN GORMLEY
T
he first question most
people have about broom-
stick lace is, “Is it really made
with a broomstick?”
The answer is that although you can
use a broomstick, it’s not required to
produce this lacy fabric, which is also
known as “jiffy lace,” “lace loops,”
and “peacock’s eye.” A large knit-
ting needle works just as well, and its
diameter determines the size of the
lace’s eye. Your project will be the same
width as the needle’s length, unless you
combine strips of lace to make a wider
piece. For extra-wide projects, you can
use an actual broomstick or knitting
needle with a flexible cable.
To begin, you’ll need a regular
crochet hook, yarn, and a single jumbo
knitting needle in size 17 (12.75mm),
19 (15 mm), 35 (19 mm), or 50 (25 mm).
Broomstick lace is a two-step pro-
cess that is similar to Tunisian Crochet
(Afghan Stitch): Loops are worked on
in one direction (loop pass), and then
12 Resources www.crochettoday.com
worked off in the other direction (return
pass), without turning the work.
CHOOSING SIDES
You’ll see that on the wrong side of the
fabric, a visible crochet ridge shows
where the wrong side of the single
crochets are placed. Although there is
a noticeable difference between the
wrong and right sides, you can choose
which to use for the “public” side of
your project.
STAYING ON TRACK
In simpler patterns, the number of
loops and the number of foundation
stitches should be equal. This means
if the groups in the pattern are made
of 4 loops, the foundation should be a
multiple of 4. If the groups are made
of 5 loops, the foundation should be
a multiple of 5, and so on. Check your
progress by counting the loops to make
sure you have the correct number before
working them off the stick/needle.
MEASURING GAUGE
You measure stitch gauge by the
number of groups per inch. One com-
plete row is defined as one loop pass
together with one return pass. Row
gauge is the number of complete rows
per inch. Broomstick projects end after
you complete the single crochet return
pass.
A typical gauge for a broomstick lace
pattern might read: 3 groups (1 group is
4 loops) and 4 rows = 4".
Like traditional crochet, if your swatch
does not have enough stitches per inch,
try a smaller hook and smaller diam-
eter stick/needle. If the swatch has five
groups in 4", but the pattern calls for
four groups in 4", then bigger stitches
are required. In this case, switch to a
bigger hook and stick/needle. If the
swatch has only three groups in 4", but
the pattern calls for four groups in 4",
the stitches should be smaller to fit more
in the space. Try again with a smaller
hook and stick/needle.

Step 1 You can begin with either a
foundation chain or a foundation
row of single crochet, but you’ll
probably find it’s easier to start with
an sc foundation. After you make the
foundation, hold the broomstick/
needle against the last stitch, remove
the hook from the last loop, enlarge
the loop, and insert the stick/needle
in its place.
Step 2 Use the crochet hook to pull
up loops and place them on the
stick/needle. Pull the new loops
either through both loops on the
hook, or through the foundation’s
front or back loop, depending on
what your pattern requests.
Step 3 For each stitch, remove the
hook from the new loop, insert
the hook in the next stitch, and
pull up another loop.
13 Resources www.crochettoday.com
Step by Step
Step 4 Continue this method of
pulling up loops across the work and
putting each one on the stick/needle.
In the end, there will be one loop for
each stitch in the previous row. One
loop pass has been completed. Do Step 7 In the same eye, sc the same
not turn the work. number of times as there are loops in
the group. Slide the hook under the
next 4 or 5 loops on the stick/needle
and stitch in the eye as specified.
Step 5 To begin the return pass, slide
the hook under the first 4 or 5 loops
on the stick/needle, as specified in
your pattern.
Step 8 At the end of the row, do
not turn. Remove the hook from the
last loop, and place the loop on the
stick/needle.
Step 6 Loosely yarn over with the
working yarn and pull through to
secure with a chain. Subsequent
groups do not need a chain to
secure, instead single crochet in the
eye according to the pattern. If the
securing chain is too tight, the first
group will be too short compared to
the rest of the row. The space where
the chain pulled through becomes the Step 9 Begin the next loop pass
