14 photos! That’s how many detailed images you can follow as you learn to work broomstick lace.

Broomstick lace is making long loops, like Solomon’s Knot. Except it’s easier because a broomstick handle (or the end of a big, fat knitting needle) maintains the loop length until it’s stitched off. That’s it!

To ease the learning curve, this pattern includes a photo tutorial for the process.

This scarf is worked sideways. The edging
is crocheted on after fastening off for the main body of the scarf.
