What stitches are used to make the picot stitch?

The picot stitch pattern is made using just three basic stitches: chain, single crochet, and slip stitch. You’ll first make two single crochet stitches, then you will chain three, and finally, you will slip stitch to the top front loop of your single crochet stitch.

That’s it! If you need a refresher on how to make these three stitches, then take a look down below.

• ch – chain: Yarn over, pull through loop on hook.
• ss – slip stitch: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through stitch, and loop on hook.
• sc – single crochet: Insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through last two loops on hook.

Alright, let’s get started!

Materials You Will Need to Make this Stitch

Since this is just a practice swatch, there’s not much that you need. But here are the things that I used for this tutorial.

• Cotton Yarn. I made a basic 4″ by 4″ inch swatch using the suzette stitch and my favorite cotton yarn by WeCrochet.
• 4.0 mm crochet hook. I used a basic wooden crochet hook for this tutorial.
• Stitch markers. You might find stitch markers helpful to note when you start the border.
• A pair of scissors to cut your yarn.
• A darning needle to work in your tail end.

Step 1: Insert your hook into your last stitch of your last row and make 2 single crochets.

If you’re using a different color, reattach your yarn to the last stitch of your last row, chain 1, and make 2 single crochets.

Step 2: chain 3.

Step 3: Then make a slip stitch in the top front loop of your single crochet stitch.

You’re finished! At this point, you should have a completed picot stitch. Now you just want to repeat that sequence into every stitch to create your border.
