Hairpin Lace Crochet

Crochet!

Hello :slight_smile:

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with doing this - I found a really pretty pattern that I’d love to try, but have never done Hairpin before. It says it needs a loom, which I’ve looked for on the net, but they seem to be few and far between. I wonder if I could make my own one, but was wondering if other people have any thoughts they could share?

I have done hair pin lace and it isn’t that difficult. At Annie’s Attic there is a tutorial on it and at www.needlepointers.com. You can get help at either place. As for a loom, if there is a JoAnn’s Fabric or a knitting shop nearby you should be able to find one. It seems that hair pin lace is making a comeback. My small local knitting shop carries hair pin lace looms.

Thanks so much! Just found a tutorial both on how to do hairpin lace and how to make my own loom! :slight_smile:

Will be trying that out… need to find some florist’s foam that my cat won’t eat now…

Unfortunately, there’s nowhere near me that does the looms - the wilds of Scotland have few knitting shops, although I noticed a new one yesterday, so might have to go have a look dum di dum whistle

Sorry, been kind of out of it for a couple of days!

Here’s the link - haven’t had a chance to try it out yet, unfortunately.
