Broomstick Stitch – Crocheting With Popsicle Sticks

by

This tutorial is for crocheting with a popsicle stick to create a Broomstick Stitch.

It looks rather fiddly so maybe that is why only a bracelet style cuff was made. Have you tried this technique?

  3. Can you post the compete directions for completing the project shown? (It appears to be a cute purse.) Thank you!

  10. This is a really tedious way to do broomstick lace. Normally it’s done with a large knitting needle (17, 19, or 35 if you want to get a little wild) and a larger (Size K or above) crochet hook. The result is very pretty and not nearly as tedious as this looks.

  11. Video would be so much better with step by step instructions. I don’t do well with pictures without any verbage!

  13. OMG! people! YouTube is FULL of videos for various different crochet stitches! Including this very pretty broomstick stitch! Just go to the YouTube website and do a search for the particular stitch you want to learn!

Lightweight Lacy Crochet Tee Pattern That’s Perfect for Layering

Some crochet garments look beautiful on the hanger but feel awkward to wear. This Lacy Crochet Tee from Lana Grossa is not one of those pieces. It’s light, breathable, and very much designed to be worn — the kind of handmade top that slips easily into your everyday wardrobe without feeling “too precious.”

What immediately stands out is the openness of the stitch pattern. It has that airy, lacy feel that works so well for warmer weather or for layering over a tank or dress. This isn’t a heavy, structured garment; it’s soft and fluid, with just enough texture to make it interesting while still letting the yarn shine.

From a making point of view, this tee is a really enjoyable project if you like crochet that feels calm and rhythmic. The lace pattern keeps your hands engaged without constant counting or frustration, which makes it perfect for evening crochet or quiet weekend sessions. It’s also very satisfying watching the fabric grow — those lacy stitches really show progress quickly.

Skill-wise, this one is best suited to confident beginners moving into intermediate crochet. You don’t need advanced shaping skills, but being comfortable with stitch patterns and keeping even tension will make the process much more enjoyable. If you’ve been wanting to dip your toe into wearable crochet without tackling a full sweater, this is a great place to start.

What I really appreciate about this pattern is how versatile it is. Change the colour and fibre and it can feel casual and beachy or clean and modern. It’s the kind of tee you’ll reach for again and again, especially when you want something handmade that still feels light and effortless.

If you enjoy crochet garments that are wearable, practical, and quietly stylish, this lacy tee is a lovely pattern to have in your collection.
