How It's Done
To make hairpin lace, use a crochet hook and a regular hairpin lace staple. With the crochet hook, make a loose ch st. Take out the hook and insert left-hand prong of the staple upwards through the stitch. Draw out loop until knot is halfway between prongs. Then bring the thread front and around right-hand prong. Insert hook through loop around left-hand prong, draw thread through and make a ch st. * To get crochet hook in position for next step, without drawing out loop on the hook, turn the handle of hook upwards so that it is parallel with the prongs, then pass it between the prongs to the back of the staple. Now turn the staple over once to the left (which makes a loop over the right prong). Insert the crochet hook up through front thread of loop at left and make an s c. Repeat from *. Continue until the prongs are covered with loops, then slip them off the staple and replace the two prongs into the last 4 loops. Work for desired length.
Some persons prefer to hold the prongs of the staple with the open end towards the bottom so that the work will slip off as the length of lace is made.
