gather the next 5 loops and sc 5 into them.ħ. *Gather the first 5 loops by slipping them off the needle (or scale) and chain one, into this group of five loops. After having drawn loops through all the chains you will reach the right end with the right side facing you.ĥ. Hold your work fairly firm and tight to get a neat finish. Cast the loop on as soon as you draw it through each chain. (like a similar motion scale on the pianoforte keyboard) Draw loops now through each chain, working left to right and cast each loop thus drawn onto a knitting needle or any tool that I have mentioned, which acts to hold the loops. From now on you will not turn, and be working on the same side left to right and right to left until the last ending row. turn, dc into fourth from hook, dc into all chains, you will have to get 25 dcs.Ĥ. ch 3 to count as one dc (if this 3 chain is longer than your dc you can use 2 chains)ģ. chain 25 (we will be grouping 5 loops together) for a narrow scarf please make only 20 chains.Ģ. Stitches used: Single crochet: sc and dc- double crochet and broomstick lace loops cast on to the knitting needle or scale or piece of long wooden dowel or piece of wood, slip stitch.ġ. Remember that the scale has to be longer than the breadth of the scarf that you would want. Knitting needle or a scale (a foot ruler) If you do not have a foot ruler please use a old paint stirrer that is usually thrown away.
Outcomes can be altered by altering the width of the loops varying the size of the knitting needle and the total number of multiples of 5 for as broad or narrow as required.ġ. You may want to make it as broad as you want for a broader shawl, and or as narrow for a bracelet, but the methodology is the same. This makes an airy breezy and delicate scarf to suit any occasion. Please search on my blog for "broomstick" and have a look at all what I have made. I do not have any of my own work video recorded, as recording with my iPhone and balancing the knitting needle is a little challenging. You may additionally want to Google you tube videos for "broomstick lace" if you are new to the lace. Here are some helps for you to make a scarf just as what I have made.
