If you find it difficult to hold both the pin and crochet
hook in your hands, try to hold the pin between your
knees instead.
After you slipped on all the loops onto the pin,
especially when you just start to learn this technique,
don’t slip off them all at once. Slip 5 loops at time.
When you get more used to this stitch, you can slip off
all loops, but only after you worked sc into the first
group of 5 loops.

Broomstick lace is a really fun stitch which works really
fast and makes simply amazing texture.
Very soon I am going to release one beautiful pattern
using broomstick lace and I wanted to encourage you
to try it if you haven’t yet.
Finished cowl is 35cm wide and 60cm long. If you want
it wider add multiple of 5sts and repeat pattern rows
more times than suggested. You can also use thicker
yarn if you want it bulkier.

Tips
If you find it difficult to hold both the pin and crochet
hook in your hands, try to hold the pin between your
knees instead.
After you slipped on all the loops onto the pin,
especially when you just start to learn this technique,
don’t slip off them all at once. Slip 5 loops at time.
When you get more used to this stitch, you can slip off
all loops, but only after you worked sc into the first
group of 5 loops.

Row 1: with 3,5mm crochet hook, ch71, sc in 2nd ch and
each next ch, (70sc), do not turn
Row 2: using hook stretch the final loop and slip it onto
the pin (photo 1); with right side facing, insert hook through the next stitch along to the right, yarn over and pull it through the stitch to create another large loop, slip it onto the pin (photo 2), repeat from * in
each stitch across, (70 loops on pin), do not turn

Row 3: working with 4mm hook, carefully slip off 5
loops, insert the hook through all of them, being
careful not to twist the loops, yarn over and draw
through the loops, yarn over again and draw through
to create a chain (ch doesn’t count as stitch) (photo 3);
work 5sc around the 5 loops (photo 4), slip next 5 loops from the pin and work 5sc around them repeat
from * to end of row, (70sc), do not turn (photo 5)

Working always with 4mm hook, repeat Rows 2 and 3 –
22 times more. Fasten off. Weave in all ends.
Sew on the button on the corner of the cowl.
There are no special button holes, but you can use the
holes of broomstick lace. In this way you can play
around and button it in many different ways.
