(pull thru 2 loops), 3 times
pin – broomstick lace pin – tool used to make the broomstick lace
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
hdc – yo , pull up a loop, yo draw thru all 3 loops on hook

ROW 1: (ch 4, tr in 4th ch from hook) 15 times.
ROW 2: ch 1, working around the post of the trebles of the previous row, 5 sc in next tr
to end of row. (75 sc)
ROW 3 (first half of broomstick lace): place loop from last sc of row 2 over the
broomstick pin, pull yarn to make it snug on pin, but don't "choke" it. Now, working in
back loops only of the sc's, *insert hook in next sc, pull up a loop, place loop over pin.
Repeat from * to end of row. (75 loops)
 
ROW 4 (second half of broomstick lace): insert hook under 5 loops and carefully remove

in first sc. (48 sc)
ROW 11: ch 2, hdc in same st as join, hdc in ea st around. Ignoring ch 2, join with sl st in
first hdc. (48 hdc)
ROW 12: repeat row 11. (48 hdc)

next 2 sts. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st in first hdc. (24 hdc)
ROW 16: ch 2, yo, insert hook in same st as join, yo, pull up a loop, yo, insert hook in
