I finally mastered Picots!

[CLLinda]

Hi gang,

 

I am making an adorable baby sweater and needed a trim around the bottom. So I decided to do some picots. Now, I have never had much sucess with them. They always looked a little weird, but I looked up how to do them properly in the Crochet Answer book, and they turned out quite well.

 

Sometimes, you really just need to try a new stitch and get over your fear.

 

I did and it turned out great!

 

I'm just figuring out the sleeves and then I will post a picture!

I love picots! Picot edging is so nice - one of my faves!

 

Isn't it nice to conquer something like that? Makes you eager to try other things! Congrats! Can't wait to see the finished product.

Glad to hear of your success. I just came across a cute baby sweater and the edging is Picots! I was debating whether to make that sweater.

 

Thanks to you...now I'll try it

Picots make such a nice finish on the edge. You'll really enjoy using them.

Good for you to learn a new stitch. Isn't it fun? Almost everything I've learned to do in crochet I've taught myself. I read the book...try it...frog it...read the book again...try again...until I'm happy with how it turned out. You should be proud of your accomplishment.

Thanks for sharing.

I think that is a pretty stitch with the shell desgin. It is hard to understand at first. You will be adding it to so many designs. Have fun with it. Makes nice edging to dishcloths. PINKROSES

Glad you learned how to do it.
