Insert into the next stitch pull up a long loop and slip it on your ruler. Pull up your working loop really long and slip it on your ruler. Place a single crochet in each chain until the end of the row. Insert into the second chain from your hook and place a single crochet. ![]() Despite its frightening appearance it’s a quite easy stitch to work and the only challenge it presents is to create loops of even size. It is a two-row repeat pattern and it is based on single crochet. There are tutorials that show you it can be worked in the round but I found this way very punishing. The broomstick stitch is basically worked in rows. So this I how I tried it myself and I testify that the ruler has been working amazingly for me ever since and therefore I strongly suggest that you give it a try. However, when I first watched this stitch in an Instagram video, the loops were being slipped on a large ruler. Nowadays since brooms seized to be part of our households centuries ago the most common tool used to create this stitch would be chunky knitting needle-like the US sizes 35 and 50 (19 and 25mm accordingly). ![]() The loops were then joined together into clusters with the use of single crochet stitches and from these crochet stitches, new unworked loops were drawn up and slipped onto the broomstick in the next row. The word legendary is no exaggeration as this stitch used to be worked by pulling long unworked loops of thread up onto a broomstick, and this is where the name of this stitch derives. The stitch I will talk to you about in this post is also an amazing stitch for summer projects and it’s no other than the legendary Broomstick, Stitch also known as the Broomstick lace stitch. This was the Diagonal Herringbone stitch. In my previous post, I presented a stitch that works amazing with plant fiber yarn, like raffia and twine, and is therefore great for summer bags.
