Such a detail as pico, when creating clothescrochet is often used in the decoration of the edge of products, as well as used in performing various fantasy patterns and laces. There are many different ways to knit this element. Between themselves, they differ in size, and in form, and, of course, in the manner of implementation.
The most common option is the classic method of performing a picot hook. Here you do not need to have special skills, everything is simple enough, even a novice needlewoman will cope.
So, most often the pico crocheted in combinationwith columns without a crochet. For example, we perform the finishing of the edge of a knitted skirt and tie it with stitches without a crochet. But some columns without a rump look rather boring. Therefore, to make a little variety, we knit this decorative element. This is done, for example, every 5 bars without a crochet. Having connected the fifth column, we sew five loops of a chain and we connect them in a ring by means of a connecting column, fixing in the same loop with which knitting of air loops began. It turns out to be a vicious circle in the form of a droplet. Then you can continue knitting the next five bars without a crochet. Alternation continues, until we finish tying the whole edge of the product.
The size of the picot can be chosen independently. If you need a larger option, then, recruit more air loops, if less, then the number of loops in the chain will be less.
The methods of knitting such a classic variationdiffer only in the attachment point of the connecting post. This can be a loop of the previous row, from which the knitting of the air loops began, or the initial loop of the chain.
Есть еще один оригинальный вариант выполнения pico crochet. It looks very beautiful. It is as follows. The knitting pattern is similar to the one used in the first version, but the differences do exist. We send the first part of the element in the manner described above. Then again make a chain of loops and connect it to a ringlet. You need to tie 3 rings, and you will get the so-called shamrock. Next, we continue to knit our posts without a crochet.
With the help of 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.
This variant differs from previous ones in itsvolume and is suitable for strapping warm products, made with knitting needles and crochet. Make it simple enough. Let's analyze how the pico crochets this method. The method of execution is as follows: we sew three air loops, and then - a column with a crochet in the initial loop of the chain. Then again, you need to associate the column with the crochet, and again in the first loop. After that, we again knit the three loops of the chain and perform the fastening of the finished element with the help of a connecting column in the loop of the previous row, from which we began knitting the chain. Thus, you should get a kind of small circle, which in appearance resembles a coin. Hence the name of this element.
If you need to get the edge of the product,reminiscent of a wavy line, then for you the variant of a flat pico is suitable. It is also easy to match, but there are no longer any columns without a crochet for alternation. Just type five loop loops and make a column with a crochet in the initial air loop. After that, we fix the finished pico by means of a connecting column, having passed three columns in the previous row, and repeat this report the necessary number of times.
If you want to get the edge of a product with sharpangles, then you need to learn how to knit a pico in the form of a triangle. To do this, we select five loops of the chain and, skipping the last, we knit each of them in order: in the fourth - a column without a crochet, in the next in order - half-column, then - a column with a crochet, in the initial - a column made with two crochets. You will have a small triangle. We fix it to the edge of the product using a connecting column, skipping three loops in the previous row.
Now you know how to knit pico crochet, and you can try its various options when creating knitted clothes.
