A New Look at Vintage Stitch with 20 Stylish Designs by Donna Wolfe
Learn an updated take on the vintage art of broomstick lace with easy-to-follow photo tutorials! Made using a super-huge needle (the "broomstick") and a crochet hook, this technique creates a very distinctive cluster lace stitch that’s fun and fast to crochet. A step-by-step photo tutorial on the basic stitch using single crochet is followed by additional broomstick lace tutorials. Learn to increase and decrease, work in the round, change colour, and work broomstick lace with different stitches. Includes 20 original designs for broomstick lace, ranging from accessories to baby items to designs for the home.
Donna Wolfe is the crochet designer and teacher behind the hugely successful Naztazia YouTube channel which has over 735,000 subscribers. She is based in the USA.
If you have never learned how to crochet broomstick lace, this could be a great starting point for you! Donna Wolfe of naztazia.com has come up with 20 designs using a very basic broomstick stitch in her new book Broomstick Lace Crochet. I would recommend this book to even the newest crocheters and those hesitant to learn new stitches to just jump on in! This stitch is a lot of fun, and this book provides many step-by-step photos to lead you along. There are many other helpful tips as well, including how to substitute other tools should you not have a size 50 knitting needle handy! Perusing this book reminded me of the time I taught this stitch to a group of new crocheters who were all pre-teens and quickly picked up this technique pretty easily with only a few weeks of crochet experience under their belt. All of the patterns are very easy and approachable. Two of the projects that stood out to me were the headbands and the book cuffs. Both make use of decorative buttons that fit nicely into the broomstick stitches and are cute and functional. They are also gifts that can be made quickly using extra yarn from my stash. The photography in this book is not as stunning as other books I have featured, but the photos are more than adequate to give you an idea of the finished designs. It does look like Donna had fun participating as a model with her children in the photo shoots!
