Broomstick lace, also known as jiffy lace and peacock eye crochet, is a historic crochet technique from the 19th century[1] made using a crochet hook and another long slender item such as a knitting needle.[2] Traditionally a broomstick was used, hence the name, but the modern variant is a lightweight plastic knitting needle or smooth wooden craft dowel. A larger knitting needle or dowel will result in a lacier effect, while a smaller will provide a more closely woven effect. The technique is used to make clothing, blankets, and other crocheted items.[1] In most crochet techniques, each stitch is finished before beginning the next. Broomstick lace is different; like in knitting and Tunisian crochet, many stitches are left open for broomstick lace.[3]
