Crocheting a picot edging makes a fancy edge that looks great on feminine
sweaters and baby knits.
1 Choose a crochet hook that is one or two sizes smaller than the needles
used for your knitting. Insert the hook into your knitting at the right corner
of the edge.
2 Work 1 single crochet (see steps 2–5 on page 194).
3 Chain 3 (or 4, if desired).

chapter 134 Insert the crochet hook back into the same stitch, yarn over, and bring
up a loop.
5 Yarn over again and pull the loop through both loops on the hook.
6 Single crochet 2 (into the next 2 stitches, moving left).
7 Repeat steps 2–5 across the edge to create picot edging. Cut the yarn and
pull it snugly through the last loop to finish the edging.
Note:To create more space between picots, you can single crochet 3 or 4 times at step 5.
