40. BLO dec*8 (8). As you do the last dec, change the color to light brown.
TN: you should now have a tightly stuffed bristle with a small hole in the top.
We will continue crocheting in light brown. 
Cut a piece of wire to 30 cm long and bend it in half, gently twisting it. Wrap the entire length with tape. Insert into the hole in the top of the bristles. We will continue crocheting our handle around this wire. 

41. BLO 8sc (8)

We will now begin to form the end of the broomstick handle.

89. 3sc, dec*2, 3sc (8)

Cut the yarn and close the hole by passing the ends through the front loops of the final row with a needle, tighten and tie off. Pass the remaining ends through the inside of the broom and cut off any extra.

Now form the bend of the handle by bending it at the three points shown in the photograph below.  

Take the gold yarn and crochet into the front loop only of the 30th row for 16sc while holding the broom with the handle down. Finish by closing the row with a slip stitch. Cut and fasten your end. Do the same for row 33.

Next, stitch in the front loops only of row 35, 16sc plus 1 extra sc. Do this for 2 more rows of 17sc. Do not cut the yarn. TN: for clarity further down, these will be rows A, B, and C, with A being the one that connects to row 35. 
Insert your hook into the first stitch of Row C and chain 10. Beginning in the second chain from the hook, crochet 9sc.

Insert your hook into the second stitch of row C, chain 10. Crochet 9sc starting in the second chain from the hook. Insert hook back into the second stitch of row c and fasten off, passing the yarn through the interior of your broom with a needle and cutting off any extra. 

Our broom is ready!
