A crochet picot stitch is a small loop created by chaining a few stitches, usually 3-5.
It is often used as a decorative element along edges or to create a space between other stitches.
Picots add charming detail to crochet projects, like edges of lace, or as a finishing touch on items like shawls, blankets, bookmarks, or doilies.

Crochet Picot Stitch - Step-by-Step
A picot stitch is made using chain stitches and a slip stitch. It can be used as an extension to single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, or treble stitches.
A picot is normally 3 chain stitches, but if you require more definition, make it with 4-5 chain stitches.
Step One
Create three chain stitches at the point where you want to add a picot.
Step Two
Then slip stitch into the third chain from the hook. This completes one Picot stitch.
