This part of the process is similar to knitting as all stitches in the row are being picked up and held at one time on the knitting needle being used. The "broomstick" or knitting needle is then used in the next row, as the crocheter pick up a loop through each of the stitches in row one and transfer it from the crochet hook onto the needle or dowel. The first row can either be immediately done in Broomstick lace, or instead incorporate a single or half-double crochet stitches. The number of stitches in this beginning chain are normally counted in multiples of 3 through 6, depending on the desired effect. Technique Īs with other forms of crochet the base of the pattern is a chain stitch. One such needlework technique was broomstick lace. In Croatian folk costume in the 1800s and 1900s, needlework was often used to accent the sleeves of the oplećak (woman's blouse). Broomstick lace is different like in knitting and Tunisian crochet, many stitches are left open for broomstick lace. In most crochet techniques, each stitch is finished before beginning the next. The technique is used to make clothing, blankets, and other crocheted items. A larger knitting needle or dowel will result in a lacier effect, while a smaller will provide a more closely woven effect.
Traditionally a broomstick was used, hence the name, but the modern variant is a lightweight plastic knitting needle or smooth wooden craft dowel. Broomstick lace, also known as jiffy lace and peacock eye crochet, is a historic crochet technique from the 19th century made using a crochet hook and another long slender item such as a knitting needle.
