This easy picot stitch edging is useful for finishing a variety of crochet, knitting or other craft projects. It’s appropriate to use anywhere you want a dainty, narrow edging that doesn’t add a significant amount of width to a project. It’s more visually interesting than an edging of plain single crochet stitch, but less dramatic than a deeply scalloped shell stitch edging.
