Tip If you prefer complete ngers on your gloves, continue to work the last round of the thumb and ngers until desired length. Fasten off, leaving a long tail. Thread the tail through the stitches of the last round, pull tight to close top of nger, and weave in the end.
HOW TO MAKE A GAUGE SWATCH Ch 25. Row 1 Work same as Row 1 on glove24 sts. Rows 230 Work same as Row 2 on glove. Resulting gauge swatch should measure approx 4"/10cm square. If necessary, adjust hook size to obtain correct gauge. NOTES 1 Leave long tails when fastening off near ngers. Use tails to close any small holes between ngers. 2 Take care when working the alternating half double crochet and slip stitch pattern. The thin, variegated yarn can make the slip stitches a bit difcult to see. Take care to work slip stitches loosely, and count the number of stitches in each row or round. 3 The buttons and button loops were intended to be worn on the inside of the wrist, but you may prefer the buttons on the outside.

BROOMSTICK LACE NECK WARMER HOW TO MAKE A GAUGE SWATCH DIAGRAM

SPECIAL TECHNIQUE Broomstick Lace Broomstick Lace is worked with the right side facing at all times. Each row consists of two passes, a loop pass and a return pass. In the loop pass, loops are placed onto the broomstick lace needle. In the return pass, loops are worked off the needle in groups. Loop Pass (right side) Elongate the loop on hook and slip it onto the broomstick lace needle, working from left to right, *insert crochet hook in back loop only of next stitch, yarn over and draw up a long loop (take care not to twist loop), slip the loop onto the broomstick lace needle and adjust loop to t needle; repeat from * across row. Return Pass (right side) Working from right to left, insert crochet hook into the rst 4 loops on broomstick needle, hold the loops together as a group, yarn over and draw the yarn through the 4-loop group, yarn over and draw through the loop on hook (ch 1 made), slip group off needle, work 4 sc in eye of group, *insert crochet hook into next 4 loops on broomstick needle, hold the loops Ch 16. Rows 15 (right side) Work Rows 15 of neckwarmer over these 16 chains only4 broomstick groups. Resulting gauge swatch should measure approx 3.75"/9.5cm x 4"/10cm. If necessary, adjust hook size to obtain correct gauge. NECKWARMER Ch 76. Row 1 Loop Pass (right side) Elongate the loop on hook and slip it onto the broomstick lace needle, working from left to right (you may prefer to work in the opposite direction, if you are left handed), *insert crochet hook in next ch, yarn over and draw up a long loop, slip the loop onto the broomstick lace

Tip To make a longer neckwarmer, increase the foundation chain by a multiple of 4 chains. Each additional broomstick group adds approximately 1"/2.5cm in length.

Hop on Your BROOMSTICK LACE

Try your hand at a new stitch with this lacy fabricbroomstick optional.
BY ELLEN GORMLEY

he rst question most people have about broomstick lace is, Is it really made with a broomstick? The answer is that although you can use a broomstick, its not required to produce this lacy fabric, which is also known as jiffy lace, lace loops, and peacocks eye. A large knitting needle works just as well, and its diameter determines the size of the laces eye. Your project will be the same width as the needles 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 exible cable. To begin, youll 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 process that is similar to Tunisian Crochet (Afghan Stitch): Loops are worked on in one direction (loop pass), and then

worked off in the other direction (return pass), without turning the work.

MEASURING GAUGE
You measure stitch gauge by the number of groups per inch. One complete row is dened 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 diameter stick/needle. If the swatch has ve 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 t more in the space. Try again with a smaller hook and stick/needle.

CHOOSING SIDES
Youll 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.

Step by Step

Step 1 You can begin with either a foundation chain or a foundation row of single crochet, but youll probably nd its 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 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 not turn the work.

Step 7 In the same eye, sc the same 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 specied.

Step 5 To begin the return pass, slide the hook under the rst 4 or 5 loops on the stick/needle, as specied in your pattern. 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 foundations front or back loop, depending on what your pattern requests. 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 3 For each stitch, remove the hook from the new loop, insert the hook in the next stitch, and pull up another loop.

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 rst group will be too short compared to the rest of the row. The space where the chain pulled through becomes the eye of the broomstick stitch.

Step 9 Begin the next loop pass with Step 2.

Learn to Crochet
Making a Foundation Chain Single Crochet (sc) Half Double Crochet (hdc)

Start by making a slipknot and positioning it near the end of the hook. Wrap the working yarn (the yarn attached to the ball or skein) around the hook as shown. Wrapping the yarn in this way is called a yarn over.

Insert the hook under both the front and back loops (i.e., under the complete V) of the 2nd chain from the hook. Wrap the yarn over the hook from back to front (this is called a yarn over) and catch it with the hook. Draw the yarn through the V.

For this stitch, yarn over, then insert the hook under the V of the 3rd chain stitch from the hook. Yarn over again and draw the yarn through the V.

Draw the yarn through the loop on the hook by catching it with the hook and pulling toward you.

You now have two loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw the yarn through both loops on the hook.

You now have three loops on the hook. Yarn over and draw the hook through all three loops at once.

One chain stitch is complete. Lightly tug on the yarn to tighten the loop if it is very loose, or wiggle the hook to loosen the loop if it is tight. Repeat from step 1 to make as many chains as required for your pattern.

do not count loop on hook

One single crochet stitch is complete. Continue to repeat steps 1 and 2, inserting the hook into each V across the row.

do not count slipknot
nd

One half double crochet stitch is complete. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you reach the end of the row. To proceed to the next row, make two chain stitches and turn.

To count the number of chain stitches made, hold the chain so that the Vs are all lined up. Do not count the loop on the hook or the slipknot you made when beginning the chain. Each V counts as one chain made.

When you reach the end of the row, make one chain stitch (this is called a turning chain), then turn the piece from right to left. To begin the next row, insert the hook under the V of the first stitch (skipping the one chain stitch you just made) and repeat the steps.
