I made an afghan back in the 80's with the broomstick weave. Thinking of doing it again. Now in my 70's and wanting to crochet again, but have arthritis in hands. Giving it a go! Great tutorial!

I think this would be really pretty as a lacy window covering at my cottage!

[RissyDune]

My great grandmother did this stitch and finding a video to learn how to do makes me happy. Thank you for sharing your video.

Omg this is so pretty! Amazing tutorial thank you so much!!

[ldmlhome]

So much easier to do then I thought — I’ve alway been so intimidated by this stitch I’ve stayed away from it — I certainly won’t anymore. THANK YOU for posting and for your super easy step-by-step instructions!!! You are absolutely wonderful lady!!

I made my sister a broomstick lace afghan several years ago. She loved it. I am now making afghans for my grandchildren. However, I had totally forgotten the technique, so was thrilled to see instructions offered recently. My intentions are to use the broomstick pattern for the girls. Can't wait to get started!

Thank you for the tutorial - I think it would make an awesome outer layer for a tote - with a sewn fabric liner and maybe repurposed belt straps. Or with a cotton based or hemp yard - maybe just a open weave farmers market tote. I remember making this pattern in the late 1970s when I was a kid. Thanks for the reminder of its BEAUTY.

Thank you for posting this. My mom told me about my grandma using a dowel to crochet this stitch but she couldn't remember how. I'll watch it with her so she can remember and relive it.

Thanks for showing me this stich, when I was a young girl I remember making a baby blanket for my sister, now I'm thinking about making one for my son.

I’ve never heard of broomstick crochet until a friend passed on a very old crochet book. Your tutorial has made more sense. Now I need to find a needle large enough to give it a try.

[Mungu-Akubariki]

Very clear tutorial. Thank you. Was teaching my daughter to knit, so carried on with a scarf there with a simple eyelet pattern. She joked about me showing off. Well, getting home, all the stitches had come off the needles, so restarted with this as I prefer crochet. This will show her what showing off is! 😆

[joymoloney]

You have such a relaxed easy style of teaching I found this pattern very easy to follow. I am now using broomstick crochet to make a scarf for my sister. It is not difficult to master this stitch so after the shawl I will make a wrap. Thank you so much for this tutorial.😊😉

[stDecomaniac]

Thank you! I am wanting to make my granddaughter some fingerless gloves for this next winter. Thanks to you, i now know how to make tgus stitch!

[annmeyer]

I learned this stitch in my teen years - now am teaching my adult daughter - this is a great refresher - and teaching tool - I had forgotten little bits - I still have my original needle to pass on to her - thank you for the easy to follow refresher!!

[laurelstieg]

Beautiful.this stitch was huge in the 1970s.Everone was making broomstick lace and macrame..So happy to see it making a comeback.Hugs from Milwaukee 🤗❤🧶

[taniagerard]

Easy to follow! Thank you. I'm making bracelets with this stitch.

[mtallman]

Thank you for charing your knowledge in crochet stitching! They are so beautiful! I want to make the all!!! 😮😊

[ecologicaladam]

Thank you so much! I've tried to follow a written pattern a couple of times without success, but actually seeing it has helped a lot. Clearly one needs to do a lot of swatching before getting stuck-in to a final project! 👍😉

I like to make baby dresses with broomstick lace. I make a yoke with single or double crochet, divide for the sleeves and add a few stitches in the underarm areas. In the next row I add about 1/4 to 1/3 more stitches for the skirt to make a multiple of 5. Then I do the broomstick lace for the skirt. For the sleeves I pick up stitches around the arm holes, do a few rows in single or double crochet, then a few rows of broomstick lace. I finish the cuff in a few rows of single or double crochet, decreasing as needed. I finish the neckline with either a row of reverse single crochet or some other edging. I have made this same type of dress for dolls using fine yarn and a pencil for the "broomstick."

Thanks, I learned this stitch years ago, probably 30 years and have not crocheted in that long. I specifically made full, queen, and king-size afghans as gifts for friends and family members. It is a great way to keep warm in the Autumn and winter. I want to start doing them again and needed to brush up on the process. Great video tutorial and easy to understand. When I made them I kept all the loops on the needle and took them off 5 at a time. So I had the big plastic needle under my left arm and crocheted with my right hand, even though I am a lefty! My mom taught me to crochet when I was a kid and she made me learn right handed. It was so confusing at first but I did learn.
