Pique of 2 air loops. How to crochet picot correctly

When creating crocheted clothes, such a detail as picot is often used to finish the edges of products, and is also used when making various fancy patterns and laces. There are quite a few different ways to knit this element. They differ from each other in size, shape, and, of course, in the method of execution.

The most common option is the classic crochet picot method. Here you don’t need to have any special skills, everything is quite simple, even a novice needlewoman can handle it.

Classic picot method

So, most often picot is crocheted in combination with single crochets. For example, we finish the edge of a knitted skirt and tie it with single crochets. But single crochets alone look pretty boring. Therefore, to add a little variety, we knit this decorative element. This is done, for example, every 5 single crochets. Having knitted the fifth column, we knit five loops of the chain and connect them into a ring using the same loop from which we started knitting the air loops. It turns out to be a closed circle in the shape of a droplet. Then you can continue knitting the next five single crochets. We continue alternating until we finish tying the entire edge of the product.

You can choose your picot size yourself. If you need a larger option, then cast on a larger number of air loops; if less, then the number of loops in the chain will be less.

The knitting methods for this classic version differ only in the location of the connecting post. This can be the loop of the previous row, from which the knitting of air loops began, or the initial loop of the chain.

Pico-trefoil

There is another original option for making picot crochet. He looks very beautiful. It is knitted as follows. The knitting pattern is similar to that used in the first version, but differences still exist. We knit the first part of the element as described above. Next, we again make a chain of loops and connect it into a ring. You need to knit 3 rings, and you will get the so-called trefoil. Next, we continue to knit our single crochets.

Using this method, you can decorate both an openwork tablecloth and the edge of a knitted blouse. In both cases, the decor looks appropriate and original.

Pico "coin"

This option differs from the previous ones in its volume and is suitable for tying warm products made both by knitting and crocheting. It's quite simple to do. Let's look at how picot is crocheted using this method. The method of execution is as follows: we knit three air loops, and then a double crochet into the initial loop of the chain. Next, you need to double crochet again, and again in the first loop. After this, we again knit three loops of the chain and secure the finished element using a connecting post into the loop of the previous row, from which we began knitting the chain. Thus, you should end up with a kind of small circle that looks like a coin. Hence the name of this element.

Flat and triangular crochet picot version

If you need to get the edge of a product that resembles a wavy line, then the flat picot option is suitable for you. It is also knitted quite simply, but single crochets are no longer used here for alternating. Simply cast on five loops of the chain and make a double crochet into the initial chain stitch. After this, we secure the finished picot using a connecting post, skipping three posts in the previous row, and repeat the required number of times.

If you want to get an edge with sharp corners, then you need to learn how to knit a picot in the shape of a triangle. To do this, we cast on five loops of the chain and, skipping the last one, knit into each of them in order: in the fourth - a single crochet, in the next in order - a half-double crochet, then - a double crochet, in the initial - a double crochet. You will get a small triangle. We fasten it to the edge of the product using a connecting post, skipping three loops in the previous row.

Now you know picot crochet, and you can try different variations when creating knitted clothes.

Pico (or pique) is the simplest, but at the same time very beautiful pattern, which is used to tie various products, for example, tablecloths, napkins, towels and, not usually, shoes. Products whose edges are tied with picots look very beautiful and original. The patterns for crocheting this element are given below.

How to knit booties for children

Description of work:

First, take thin knitting needles, find out the size and choose a color. Let's start knitting from the sole. Let's cast on 40 chain stitches, which will then make two rows of garter stitch. Now on the next 4 beds we add more loops from the main side (one from two edges and two in the middle). As a result, we should have 56 air loops. We knit the new 4 rows with threads of a different color. The knitting of the sole is completed. We knit the booties themselves a little differently, We do all the work according to the following scheme:

• The first row is one forward, the other back.
• Second row - knit the front loop the same way, then yarn over, and remove the new loop from the knitting needle without knitting.
• Third row - before the yarn over, we repeat the steps and remove it from the loop again, and knit the loop itself with the front one.
• The last row - we knit the front side on the wrong side, and the yarn over itself - on the wrong side.
