Picot Edge

By Rita on April 24, 2012 No Comments

Number of Loops Needed for This Edge:
– For a Round: multiple of 2 loops
– For a Row: multiple of 2 loops + 1 loop

Width of Sample Edge
(from row or round 1)
1.25 inches

Thread Used in Sample

size 30 crochet thread.

Sample began with

3 rows of plain netting.

Sources For This Edge:
This edge was formed after I’d been working with long and short loops.

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above

Circular Netting

Diamond Mesh Netting

Round 1	mesh stick: Top – #5 kn, Bottom – 1/4″ Over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #5 kn net 1 knot in next loop, repeat.

Round 1 – Alternative Method	mesh stick: #5 kn Wrap thread around kn before netting 1 knot in next loop, net 1 knot in next loop (without any additional wrapping), repeat. Result: one double length loop and one regular length loop.

Round 2	mesh stick: #5 kn Net 2 knots in each long loop and 1 knot in each short loop. When you net in the short loop, do not pull the loop down to the mesh stick. The knot tied will be up higher than the mesh stick. Instead of pulling down and toward yourself when you tighten the knot, you may find it easier to pull slightly up and away from yourself.

Row 1	mesh stick: Top – #5 kn, Bottom – 1/4″ Over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #5 kn net 1 knot in next loop, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop; repeat from * to * across the row.

Row 1 – Alternative Method	mesh stick: #5 kn Wrap thread around kn before netting 1 knot in next loop, net 1 knot in next loop (without any additional wrapping), net 1 wrapped loop in the next loop; repeat from * to * across the row. Result: one double length loop and one regular length loop.

Row 2	mesh stick: #5 kn Net 2 knots in each long loop and 1 knot in each short loop. When you net in the short loop, do not pull the loop down to the mesh stick. The knot tied will be up higher than the mesh stick. Instead of pulling down and toward yourself when you tighten the knot, you may find it easier to pull slightly up and away from yourself.
