Step by Step: Broomstick Lace (Athenian Scarf)
Broomstick Lace Instructions
Multiples of 4 stitches
Chain however many you want (Multiple of 4) I used a 3.5 crochet hook and chained on 60 + 1 for a turning chain
(Using a turning chain to retain same number of stitches on each row)
2 rows of single crochet
Turn
*Chain 1 , Draw the loop through until you have a loop of two to three centimeters (keep this loop on bar of hook)
(Turned, Chain 1)
(Drawing loop up)
Insert hook through next stitch, yarn over and draw loop up to the same height as the first (Now you should have two loops on bar of hook)
(Insert hook through next stitch)
(Yarn through stitch)
(Yarn over and through initial loop)
(Draw loop up to same height as first)
(Do this for each stitch)
You should have one loop for each stitch.Yep you just leave them there! At the end you will have 60 or so loops (How ever many you decided to chain on initially) on your hook. Once you have finished the row you just take your hook out.
(Free Loops)
Turn the work
Put hook through the first 4 loops, then single crochet around all 4 loops with 4 single crochet stitches, do the same for each consecutive set of four stitches.
(Hook through 4 loops)
(First single crochet around)
(All four single crochets)
(Next set of four)
(Next Broomstick)
(End of row, chain one turn and start single crocheting as normal)
Chain 1 ( a turning chain) Single crochet the next row.
Repeat from * until you are finished.
( I learned from 300 crochet stitches - but this is my interpretation)
