In the swatch below, two strips of hairpin lace have been joined by lacing clusters of four loops up the center of the swatch. Typical hairpin lace projects involve making strips and then joining the strips together, either by crocheting or lacing (what knitters would call Russian grafting). Something about hairpin lace reminds me of a centipede. There are two rows of opposing loops secured in their shared center by a crocheted spine. In hairpin lace the loops are created on a hairpin fork. Hairpin lace can resemble broomstick lace in that both make big loops grouped together. I can definitely see this done with a ribbon yarn and I am wondering how it would work for an art yarn? I am also wondering if you could work the big loops with a ribbon yarn but crochet them off with something plain? And then there is the question of adding long bugle beads? Or what if you made the loops and then wove them together? What if you woven a strip of fabric through the loops? What about different stitch patterns between the rows? What about working the eyes in a half-drop formation instead of lined up? What about using stitches other than single crochet for the crown? What about beads across the crown? As you can tell, there is a lot of opportunity for experimentation. In either case, this is a technique that would lends itself to showing off a pretty yarn. In the photograph below, loops have been crocheted individually to make a mesh reminiscent of condo knitting.īroomstick mesh alternating rows over two different-sized dowels You can see how a group of loops forms and "eye," with a "crown" of single-crochet stitches at the top. These loops are crocheted together in groups, as in the example above. As in knitting but unlike ordinary crochet, there are many loops. In all the pictures below, the swatches are oriented in the direction they were worked, from bottom to top.īroomstick lace is a technique where large loops are created over a broomstick or other oversized dowel, such as a size 35 or 50 knitting needle. if you’re feeling fancy, have at it.On the first day of Rita de Maintenon's workshop we learned two related techniques - broomstick lace and hairpin lace. This can be a scarf or to make into a cowl, sew the ends together. Row 7 and beyond: repeat row 3 – 6 until reach desired length. do that for the entire row, you should up with 7 sets of 4 loops. Row 4: insert hook through 4 loops, single crochet on those 4 loops 4x. insert hook into next chains and repeat, you will end up with 28 1″ loops on your hook. Row 3: chain 1 but draw the loop through until it’s about an inch (keep this loop on hook). Row 2: single stitch across starting at stitch 2nd from the hook. you can certainly google for video assistance, just know that the directions are different from what i have described below. **note: i tried to find the video that i used to learn how to make this stitch, without the assistance of a broomstick or thick knitting needle, but i can’t find it. *note: you want to do multiples of four + one for the turning chain (using a turning chain allows you to retain the same # stitches).
