- Yarn over and draw it through the chain and the loop on the hook: a slip stitch closes the picot.
Picot edging
On the last round of a border: [single crochet in the next 3 stitches, picot] around. At a corner, work the picot into the corner stitch so it points outward.
Some patterns close the picot into the top of the last stitch instead of the chain; the look is almost the same. Follow the pattern’s own definition.
Use it in
Baby blankets, collars, doilies and the edge of a shawl. Larger picots use chain 4 or 5.
