Broomstick Lace
Also known as: Jiffy lace, peacock eye
Loops pulled up and slipped onto a large knitting needle, then worked off in groups with single crochets — a vintage lace of twisted loop clusters.
How to Broomstick Lace
1. Pull up a loop from each stitch and slip it onto a big needle (19 mm or so).
2. Insert hook through 5 loops together, slip them off, yarn over, pull through and ch 1.
3. Work 5 sc into that group, and repeat across.
💡 Pro Tips
Keep the needle under your arm or in your lap so loops do not slide off.
