This series explores options for projects where selvedges are left open. Carefully planning your selvedges can help ensure the edges will look neat and lie flat. Treatments range from subtle to very decorative. This article discuss picot edges formed by working yarn overs at the start of each row. Picot is French for “little point” and this method does create little points, but they are open, dainty little points.

This is the second article in the series exploring treatment options for projects where selvedges are left open. Picot is French for “little point.” There are two selvedge techniques referred to as picot edges. One is open and uses a yarn over to form the little point that we will explore in the Fall issue. The other uses cast-on and bound-off stitches to create thicker nubs along the selvedge.
