Special Stitches

Picot Stitch – The picot stitch is a decorative crochet technique used to create small loops or points along the edge of a crochet project. There are many variations of this stitch, but the most common one is crocheted with a chain of 3.

To make a picot stitch, chain 3. Insert the hook through the middle of the base stitch from the top (the stitch from where you made the chain 3), and pick up the front loop and the loop next to it (you will have 3 loops on your hook). Yarn over and pull a loop through all the 3 loops on your hook.
