Picot

Also known as: Picot edging

A small decorative bump created by chaining 3 and slip stitching back into the base. Adds a delicate finishing touch to edges.

How to Picot

1. Ch 3 (or number specified). 2. Slip stitch into the first chain (or into the base stitch). 3. One picot complete. Continue with your edging.

💡 Pro Tips

Smaller chains (ch-2) make subtle picots, larger chains (ch-4+) make pronounced ones. Block your picots to make them stand up nicely.
