Hairpin Lace Instructions & Resources

Basic Instructions

1. Create a slipknot. Take the top horizontal bar off of the loom and put the loop of the knot on the right pole, with the yarn behind left pole, and the knot centered in the middle. Put the horizontal bar back on.

2. Flip the loom from right to left (clockwise).  

TIP: **You will always flip the loom in the same direction.**

 The loop is now on the LEFT hand side.

3. Stick the crochet hook through the loop (front to back) and pull the yarn through. Pull yarn through the loop on the crochet hook.

4. Slip the crochet hook through the loom to the back of work and flip loom from left to right again.

 There will now be two loops on the crochet needle to pull  through.

(When sliding the hook through the loops you can either go through the loop or under both strands of the loop. Each one creates a different effect.)

TIP: **Keep your work in the middle of the loom. Hold on to the work to secure it the first few loops.

Quick Referral of Basic steps:

1.    Stick crochet hook into/under loop

2.   Pull yarn through loop and single crochet.
