The Broomstick Lace Stitch is a technique that creates large loops of yarn that gently twist to the left, giving the finished project especially elegant drape.   Students need to bring the basics (worsted weight yarn, hook size in the H to K range (5-6.5 mm), measuring tape) plus a large rounded tool to hold the yarn loops. This can be a large knitting needle (size 19 mm or larger), a large crochet hook (size S or bigger), a wooden dowel that is at least 3/4″ in diameter or a piece of an old broom handle, or anything else that will work (a turkey baster for example).
