Are you looking for the perfect border for your crochet projects?

Maybe it's time for you to try the picot stitch! Many people have heard of this stitch.

What is a picot point?

A picot stitch is a combination of chain and slip stitches or single crochet stitches, worked together in a unique way to form a stitch in your work.

Picots are commonly used to make a clean edge on a project. They are a great way to spice up a plain edge because of their unique, pointy look!

Picots will also be used whenever a project needs some sort of stitch. For example, crochet snowflakes wear picots quite often!

How do you crochet a picot stitch?

As I mentioned, picots are made from a combination of chain stitches and slip stitches. There are many variations of picots (as we'll see!), but for now, these are the summarized steps so you can visualize the overall process:

• First make a stitch of your choice on the edge of your crochet project.
• Chain 3 or desired amount
• Slip stitch in the second chain on the needle
• 1 chain to make the other side of the picot
• Make a stitch of your choice into the next stitch on the edge of your design
• These are the basic steps that we will follow when making a picot. However, there are many nuances and variations on this point…

Picot Stitch Variations

I know it's hard to believe, but there are MANY variations on the picot point. While they may be small, they can have a significant impact on the outcome of your borders!

There are 3 main ways each variation will be different from the others:

• Based on hook placement. For example, one variation will be placed at the back of the chain, while others will be placed in other loops.
• Stitch used to close the picot. They can be closed with a slip stitch or a simple slip stitch.
• By changing the amount of chains used, or by changing the points around the picot.
