Hi Everyone! – My partner’s amazing novels have just been published on Kindle – If you like Sookie Stackhouse, Bella or Anne Rice – You’ll love these. They are about Iona Adair, a Scottish Parapsychologist with psychic powers; they are funny, romantic and dark exploring some really fascinating ideas. You also find out about the more interesting Scottish folklore creatures like Kelpies. I would really appreciate it if could spare a moment to check out Polly’s work. You can see them on Amazon here. Or view her website at pollyletson.com. Thank you so much, Brie (Wibit)
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)
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 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.
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.
(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)
