    Picot Single Crochet & Granule Stitch

    Published: Aug 7, 2013 · Modified: Jun 26, 2018 by Tamara Kelly · 16 Comments

    The Picot Single Crochet is a fun variation on the single crochet stitch, and used in conjunction with sc, it makes up the Granule Stitch pattern! This stitch and pattern are very similar to the Tunisian Pebbles Dishcloth - but made in standard crochet stitches, without any special tools! Here's how it's done.

    Written Instructions & Photo Tutorial for the Picot Single Crochet & Granule Stitch

    The Granule Stitch is a pattern of alternating Picot Single Crochets (abbreviated Psc) and regular single crochets (sc). Traditionally, the Granule Stitch is worked with the Psc sts staggered in each row, so you'd start with a multiple of 4, plus 1, plus 1 for the starting chain (or if starting with FSC, just a multiple of 4 plus 1).  If you want the Picots to stack up in straight columns, start with a multiple of 2, plus 1, plus 1 for the starting chain (or for FSC, just a multiple of 2 plus 1). In the photos below I'll demonstrate the staggered, traditional method, starting with a chain of 14.

    Picot Single Crochet (Psc): (Worked from the WS of the fabric) Insert the hook in the next st, yo and pull up a loop. [Yo and pull through 1 loop] 3 times (as for a ch 3). Yo and pull through both loops on the hook. Push ch 3 to the back (RS) of the fabric when working the next st.

    Repeat Rows 2 through 5 to length desired.

    That's really all there is to it! Easy as can be, and though it's an "advanced" stitch in that it's not a basic or standard stitch, it's certainly easy enough for any crocheter to master! And it makes a fantastic, nubbly, fun fabric. Try starting with a chain of 30 and make a dishcloth of Picot Single Crochet and the Granule Stitch pattern  today!

      Thank you for the great pic tutorial of this stitch. I found it when I was searching for a textured stitch . I needed something that would look like a sheep's fur. I am making crochet nativity scenes for my family and I think this stitch will be perfect for the little guys. Thanks again!

      I as a fairly new crocheter want to thank you for the time and generosity you show us. Anyone trying to learn something new is most often frustrated just trying it and then if you were feed with having to pay for a lesson you would become even more annoyed. So to find yours for free is wonderful. It does relive some of the stress.

        Hi Lucy! I'm sorry the video isn't working, youtube must be having issues. Hopefully it'll work now!

      I have a favorite afghan pattern (one of few I've made more than once) that uses this stitch. I just never knew it had a name! I'm not a fan of bobbles or most stitches that protrude to get snagged on stuff easily. This stitch has wonderful texture and appearance without "getting in the way."
