Crochet Picot Stitch Tutorial
Picot crochet is a beautiful way to add texture, color, and a finished look to your work.
Add this wonderful Crochet Picot Stitch Tutorial to your repertoire for edging your crochet blanket patterns. It's a very delicate and beautiful stitch that's pretty simple to work up.
If your afghan ends up looking bland or not how you wanted it to turn out, adding an interesting edging can distract and add a new dimension to your final project. You'll need some extra yarn from your afghan unless you're making the picot stitch edging a different color than what you worked your afghan in, and whatever hook you used for the blanket.
