The Hooded Poncho with Boot Covers by Erika & Monika

warm designs that are quick and easy, you will find the perfect

sport-weight yarn, this crocheted poncho is worked in simple
solid sections that showcase the yarn and contrast with
openwork mesh panels. Throw this fast poncho on over a
t-shirt or pair it with a sweater for the office.
The Lady Blue Warmer by Renee Barnes is a sassy crochet
poncho with a hood! The lace fabric of this lace poncho is warm
and elegantthe perfect layer for a little black dress or a pair of
jeans and a t-shirt. Delicate beads crocheted at the edge give a
bit of weight for ease of wearing and a touch of sparkle.

broomstick lace stitches and an elegant silhouette.

Skill Level Intermediate.

Stitch Guide:

lps on broomstick, yo, draw through all 10 lps, ch 1, sl group
off broomstick, work 5 sc in center of group (1 eye decd).
Notes
Be careful not to pull the yarn too tightly at the beginning of a
row, to avoid distortion.
The broomstick needle needs to be held firmly. Try keeping
it firm by putting it under your arm or clamping it between
your knees. Use a smaller crochet hook to work the loops

BROOMSTICK LACE IS MADE BY PICKING UP LOOPS and


placing them on a large stick or knitting needle to keep the loops of
uniform size. Each row is worked in two steps without turning; the
RS is always facing.
Start with a foundation equal to the number of sts required (in
this example, we use a multiple of 5 sts). Do not turn work.
Row 1, First Pass: Enlarge lp on hook and place it on the broomstick, *insert hook in next st or ch to the right if right-handed
(in next st or ch to the left if left-handed), pull up a long lp and

onto the needle. A smaller hook makes picking up the


stitches much easier.
To tighten the neckline to fit on small shoulders, thread thin
ribbon through the stitches at the top to gather slightly or
stitch elastic to the back.
To increase or decrease the length of the capelet, work more or
fewer rows prior to shaping.
The capelet is worked flat then seamed.

LACE CROCHET
Crochet is the ideal technique for
creating lace. While solid fabrics in
crochet can become stiff and heavy,
the openness of lace adds lightness
and drape. Fine yarns make especially beautiful lace. The techniques
for making lace stitches vary, but it is
often common to work stitches into
spaces rather than into other stitches. Its not easy working into tiny
stitches, so working into spaces is a
big plus when youre using a fine
yarn and small hook.
In traditional crochet, finely
worked lace tablecloths and bedspreads become heirloom pieces.
While these larger pieces are usually created in motifs for ease in
working, smaller pieces are often
created as a single piece. Edgings
are another traditional application
for crocheted lace. Narrow bands
of lace add a charming touch to
linen towels and pillowcases.
Filet Crochet and Irish Crochet are
two popular forms of crocheted
lace. Filet crochet is a simple combination of double crochet and chain
stitches. The placement of these
stitches creates intricate patterns,
from simple shapes to words to
complete scenes. In Irish Crochet,
separate elaborate motifs are combined with an openwork crocheted
net or mesh ground fabric to create
a unique and distinctive effect.
In a luxurious yarn, even the simplest
combination of stitches and chains
can create a beautiful lace fabric.
Start out simply. Once you understand the concept of creating lace, the
possibilities become limitless.
