Golden Girl Bow Band

As this pattern is aimed at newcomers to Broomstick crochet, we provided a  description of how to broomstick for beginners, which is always worked from  the right side of the fabric. Helen Jordan would like us to point out that to  make this pattern she used the method of broomstick crochet where you turn  each row as described in issue 33.

Here are Helen’s instructions for the turning technique for this pattern.  Broomstick Crochet.  Make a number of foundation trebles. Extend the loop on the hook and place  it on the broomstick. Insert hook in next st on centre row, yarn over hook,  draw new strand though, extend it and place in snugly on the broomstick.  Repeat from to end of row.  Insert hook through 3 loops, ease hook to top of loops, yarn over hook, draw  new strand through, make one chain. For this design only, work 4 double  crochet in each group of 3 loops.
