Picot Stitch Crochet Tutorial
Learn how to crochet the picot stitch as a border around your finished crochet projects. In this video, Chris will walk you through the steps to add a delicate scalloped crochet border. All you need to know how to do for this stitch is a crochet chain and a crochet slip stitch - it's that easy! Add this as a border around a finished crochet blanket or scarf, or as a bottom edging for a sweater or hat. You can really add this to any finished project of yours.
Please note that your pattern will determine the size of your picot - depending on how large of a picot you want, you'll chain a large or small amount. You can also vary the number of slip stitches between each picot. Again, your pattern should specify exactly - this written pattern is just based on the above video.
