What historic technique from the 19th century is making a comeback in 2015? Broomstick Lace crochet! To create this beautiful fabric you will need a crochet hook and another long slender item — such as a broomstick! You can also use a large knitting needle or a dowel.
The larger the diameter of your “broomstick” the more open your lacework will look! This fabric is gorgeous for scarves, hats, and blankets.

Broomstick Lace Infinity Scarf
I love the fresh Spring Crocus inspired color of this scarf, and how it uses two different gauges of broomstick lace to achieve a patchwork effect! This scarf would be beautiful paired with a denim jacket and a pair of rain boots while you’re waiting for the last winter snows to melt.
