I say that qualifies them for the Stash Buster category. One more reason to make these: they use up less than two ounces (50 grams) of yarn. That might make you ask, “well then what is the point?” Let me tell ya, these little babies will keep those pulse points covered and you’ll be amazed at how that alone will warm you up. Wristlets are just tubes that hang out around your wrists. But that single row, especially in a nice contrasting color adds a little special something. You won’t have to make much of it, just a row.

Row 1 With the shoulder laying flat, insert hook on edge of bL loop (see picture).Happy Wednesday and have a free pattern! These wristlets are a super-quick project and they will give you an excuse to practice your Broomstick Lace. *Essentially, you are making three rows of single crochet (within that, one section of half double crochet) on the outer shoulder of your top. Seam the outsides of each shoulder, 2 inches in on either side with slip stitches. For me, that was eight (bL) rows up. Tie off, weave in ends. Seam up until the point where you want the bottom of your sleeve opening. Seam using single crochet, bottom up, on both sides.
Lay the two pieces with right sides together ( I used the NON-ribbed side for my right side) Use the same pattern that you used to make the front. Row 12 – and until length desired is reached – Repeat from * to *įinish with a set of three rows of single crochet on the bottom Row 11 Working 3 bL at a time, make 3 sc in each group of 3 bL * Row 9 Single Crochet across (51sc), Do NOT chain 1. Row 8 Working 3 bL at a time, make 3 sc in each group of 3 bL, (51 bL) Chain 1, Turn Do this for each stitch across row (51 bL total) Row 6 Single Crochet across row (51) Do NOT Chain, Pull up loop Row 5 Working 3 bL at a time, make 3 sc in each group of 3 bL. Do this through each stitch until the end (51) Row 4 Pull up the yarn on your hook (a broomstick lace loop or bL) over your taped knitting needles. Row 3 Single Crochet across row (51) Do NOT Chain 1 Row 2 Single Crochet across row (51), Chain 1, Turn Row 1 Single Crochet across row (51 stitches), Chain 1, Turn Single Crocheting in sets of three across the row This is what making Broomstick Lace Looks Like: *I blocked my finished top by simply getting it wet and laying it out flat to dryģ skeins of Patons Denim-y in Grey Denim (It is mostly cotton) or another worsted weight yarn (this yarn is on the larger side of worsted weight yarns, so don’t pick an itty-bitty yarn )Ģ US Size 35 knitting needles, taped together (see picture below) *The two pieces are worked from the top down, using the same pattern. It is then seamed with slip stitches and single crochet. *This is worked in two pieces, the front and the back. The pattern does create a neckline detail, but if you want to make this REALLY easy, just chain and do strictly broomstick lace throughout the two squares. It is a VERY easy pattern consisting of two squares seamed together. You can then follow my pattern, with your new stitch count. The best way would be to make your chain the length of shoulder tip to shoulder tip. Meaning, my pattern says 52, so you can up it to 55, 58, or 61, for example. To increase the size, add stitches to your initial chain. *This would probably be a Women’s Small, or Extra Small (it is roomy, so could be a medium) You can adjust the size as the pattern is very forgiving. You will see how easy it really is! This is a great top to practice the stitch as there is no increasing or decreasing. I am really excited to wear it! I will describe how to do broomstick lace, but for a full-blown tutorial just head over to YouTube and do a quick search. I really needed big, open lace for this top, and this was the only way to make that happen. Now we just use BIG knitting needles, but you can use whatever “stick” you might like! I actually taped two of my needles together to get the size I wanted.
#BROOMSTICK LACE HOW TO#
It works up pretty quickly, and at least for this pattern you only need to know how to single crochet and half double crochet. Apparently it is called broomstick lace because they used broomsticks in the past to make it.
After reading a bit about it, I realized it is super easy! I’m not going to lie, it is a bit cumbersome at first, trying to prop up an extra knitting needle to work around (see pics below). When I first saw broomstick lace, I assumed it must be very complicated.
