Broomstick Lace Chunky Crochet Scarf
This broomstick lace scarf is worked up in a chunky yarn, which not only makes it cozy, but it also works up quick and easy. Thus, it makes a great pattern for gifting or charity donations. Plus, with the broomstick lace, you always get a nice drape and beautiful design.
As you can see, this broomstick lace chunky crochet scarf is shown here in a variegated yarn. Although pretty, it tends to hide the beauty of broomstick lace, which shines through much nicer in a solid or striped design.
Use any yarn and hook size and adjust as needed to obtain the size you need. You could easily make a shawl or a blanket by increasing the number of beginning chains. To do so, simply chain a multiple of 5 plus 1, then continue in the pattern.
Due to the broomstick lace, this free crochet pattern is suitable for those who have already mastered the basics of crocheting. Broomstick lace however, is not difficult to do; if you can crochet, then you will not have a problem with doing the lace. All you need in order to do broomstick lace crochet is your yarn, a crochet hook suitable for the yarn, and a large knitting needle. The size of the needle is not relevant; however, the bigger the needle, the lacier your work will be.
