Broomstick Stitch – Crocheting With Popsicle Sticks

July 12, 2015 by Shellie Wilson

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?

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.

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

Crochet Baby Beanie – A Sweet Beginner-Friendly Hat Pattern for Baby Showers and Handmade Gifts

This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.

What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.

I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.

If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
