Hairpin Lace > Working into Groups of Loops
When creating hairpin lace fabrics, you may work into a single loop at a time
or into groups of loops as indicated by your preference or pattern you are
following. The longer your loops (wider your strip), the more loops you
can work at any given time without causing the fabric to excessively pucker.
You can work into groups of loops by keeping the loops twisted or untwisted (see
Twisting the Loops for a discussion of working
single loops at a time).

Untwisted Loop Group
Insert the crochet hook into the front of the number of loops
desired and work ch, sc or other stitch indicated by the pattern. If
using guide lines you will be inserting the
hook into the thread of the loop that is in front of the guide line.
