Broomstick Lace Crochet Patterns

Broomstick lace crochet is also known as peacock eye and jiffy lace. It works up quick and is not hard to learn once you know the basics of crochet.

For this technique you need your crochet hook suitable for the yarn, and then another dowel to transfer the loops onto until you are ready to crochet them into a pretty lace. The dowel can be any diameter that you want; however, a thicker dowel will result in a larger and more open lace.

For larger projects, such as a blanket, you might want to try using a circular knitting needle.

Broomstick lace got its name from the olden days when women used actual broomsticks to make this lace.
