Free Hairpin Lace Crochet Patterns and Tutorials

Hairpin lace crochet, also known as hairpin lace, is a unique crochet technique. It produces a lacy fabric made from a special tool called a hairpin lace loom or fork.

This crochet method combines the basic crochet stitches with the loom to create open and intricate patterns and designs.Hairpin lace swatch closeup

Tools and materials

Very few tools and materials are necessary to make beautiful hairpin lace. The items needed are:

  • Hairpin Lace Loom or Fork: This is an adjustable U-shaped tool. The width of the loom can be adjusted to accommodate different loop sizes.Hairpin Lace Tools
  • Crochet Hook: A crochet hook is most often used to work the stitches that join the loops created by the loom.
  • Yarn: Almost any kind of yarn can be used for this, but lighter-weight yarns will more clearly show the lacy pattern.

There are so many different things that can be created using hairpin lace, including:

  • Scarves, Cowls, and Shawls: The lacy and open design makes it perfect for lightweight and elegant accessories
