Stitches

How do I find Broomstick Lace (also called jiffy lace and peacocks eye) baby item patterns for free?

I am going to be a grandmother soon and I want to make an extra special baby heirloom broomstick lace crochet blanket blanket and layette set, but can not afford the price of patterns and supplies too. I have the size 19 pin and the sizes 35 and 50. I do not need any more how to make broomstick lace sites. I have those. I just need a few free patterns. Thank you for any help. lora3_99@yahoo.com

1. I think you can find some really cool patterns here: http://home.inreach.com/marthac/links.html stargazer has some vintage patterns on here and loads of afghan patterns and layette patterns.
2. Just wondering whether you want to use broomstick lace as your pattern. My concern is that it is such a loose stitch and that your grandbaby could get their little fingers caught up in it and compromise their circulation. I know it is beautiful but am concerned about that.
3. Heres a link. Congrats on being a Gramma. It's a wonderful experience.
4. When I made my broomstick lace I used a 35 needle. You decide which one is best for you. As far a pattern is concerned I have spent some time checking for your pattern and nothing. I do have a couple of ideas that I can pass on to you and if your interested e-mail me.
