I’m sitting here trying to figure out how she’d be able to do that. A stick? Like from a tree? To crochet, the “stick” has to have a hook on the end to grab the yarn. If you take 2 sticks, you could, conceivably knit. But I just don’t see how you could crochet.
Its probably something called ‘finger crochet’ or ‘finger knit’. Sometimes women do it by wrapping yarn around the fingers and working it that way. I imagine the broom handle is the same type of thing, just without using fingers. Look at this link about finger knitting.

It’s called broomstick lace. Just enter this into a search engine and it will show you how it is done.
They now make a huge needle for this.
Hope this helps.
