Holiday Overview
Worked using a crochet hook and a large knitting needle, Broomstick Crochet is a technique that dates back to the 1800s, so called because it was originally worked using a broomstick. It’s also called Jiffy Lace or Peacock Eye Crochet because of the pattern it creates. We’ll work through the basics to get familiar with the techniques and then put everything into practice with a choice of projects. With a maximum of 12 participants, you will have plenty of time to ask all those questions you always wanted to know the answers to!
