A Picot Twist!
Picots are a great design feature, adding structure, texture, lace detailing – they are so versatile! So for this pattern, I decided to mix it up and use not the standard picot, but the picot single crochet stitch!
This stitch is a bit easier to crochet than a picot, and like the bobble stitch, it adds a ton of texture – and is worked from the wrong side of the fabric! These picots flow in diagonal lines across the face of the cowl, adding even more movement to the pattern created by this lovely color shifting yarn.
