This headband pattern will help you master the broomstick lace technique.

If you’ve always thought lacework looks intricate, TILLEY BANCROFT’S project will prove that it’s really not as tricky as it looks. The headband uses the broomstick lace method, where a crochet hook is used along with another long, thin item to create a pretty woven effect. Historically, 19th century crocheters would use a broomstick - hence the name - but fortunately, a large knitting needle does the job too! You can sew the flowers on or use brooch backs to attach each one, so they can be changed as you please.
