This is the best tutorial I've found on the Picot Hem. I love the way you hem it up as you go. A lot of other tutorials tell you to fold it over and sew it later, but I think the way you do it is much neater. Thank you so much for this video!
Best video of using a Picot Edge on a hem. I used to do this when making winter hats many years ago. I couldn't remember how to do it until now. Printed directions just didn't work for me, but this video is exceptional.
I purchased a pattern yesterday and could make absolutely no sense of it. Thankfully I found your video! Pure genius. You simplified the most crazy directions I have ever seen on a pattern. I was wracking my brain trying to figure it out all evening and within five seconds I understood it from watching your video. I think I will retype this pattern and send it to the person that originally wrote it so perhaps she can re-publish it so people can understand it! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your clear and precise tutorial without a lot of excess chattering. I wish the pattern I am using would have stated to make a picot edge, I could have found your tutorial much faster. I’ve been knitting for 10 years and have never done a picot edge. I love the finished edge it creates. At 67, I am still learning! 🤗🌷💕
Thank you for best teaching and your patience doing so...!!! I learned how to do this a long time ago when I got pregnant with my first baby and had long forgotten...!!! I learned this in Spain where I was staying for a short while and it was exactly like this, done for top down baby jackets and sweaters later on... Appreciated your time and the way you explained it... Thank you...!!!
Thank you so much. I was trying to make a picot edge on a sock and figuring out written direction was making me crazy. You made it easy, thanks for saving my sanity. ML
Thank you, thank you thank you on toast. I spent about an hour last night, getting nowhere with the instructions in my pattern. I type 'knit picot edging' into you tube tonight, click your tutorial first and within 5 minutes I know how to do it. Brilliant tutorial. I'm off to finish my project xx
I had read the instructions for this ediging but couldn't quit figure it out in my head. Your video was just what I needed. I wish that I seen this video before I started the hat that I"m almost finished with. But, rest assured, I will be using this edging in the future. Thank you for the video.
I really like this edge. I just made it for the first time for the top of a pair of socks. The only thing I have trouble with is knitting the two sides together. I normally hold the yarn in my right hand, but found I needed to use a crochet hook and hold the yarn in my left hand. Maybe it would have been easier if was a straight edge piece. Thanks for such easy to understand instructions.
Perfect edging for a knitted Barbie Poodle Skirt as is helps stiffen the edge and hold the skirt out nice and round, without any crinolin, netting, ruffled slips or petticoats underneath!
Thank you for your very clear tutorial. This was my first attempt at a picot edge. As it was for a baby’s jacket I chose to use the one loop method that you described. It made a beautiful and flat seam on the inside. However, I now don’t know how to sew the side seams together to complete the jacket and can’t find a video anywhere. Could you please help?
Very nice tutorial. Thank you! I have watched others where the picot edge is actually sewn with a needle after the project is completed. I'm thinking I like the idea of hemming as you go! Also, I am a continental knitter and hoping it won't be too 'fiddly' to pick up the stitches. I am looking forward to trying this on the bottom edge of hats. :D Thanks again!
Thank you for the tutorial! Just started knitting this month and have no idea what I’m doing most of the time, glad to have some clear instructions. Think I got YO and S1pw mixed up first time around. At least it’s a small item and not a whole sleeve or something.
Annie, for the baby blanket you can start off the way for the bottom hem. Then Work the same for the top, but then sew it to create the picot. Once you're done in length you can pick up your side stitches and repeat the same process for both sides.
Ive already knitted my baby blanket and was looking at ways to make a nice edge. This is lovely! I'm just worried about where I pick up the loops after I've folded it over 😳
I'm trying to knit a shawl and the start is with 3 stitches and increase one stitch every row, knitting triangles. I can't understand how the row starts with a yf and back over needle before first st is worked. Does anyone know?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I hv just completed a Fawn Coloured Cabled Cowl.Could you kindly give me your advice as to whether this Picot Edging will look good as an Edge to my Cabled Cowl? Am very much looking forward to your reply.Thank You.:-).
Marie Cepeda The directions are as follows: 1. Knit in stockinette stitch to the desired length of the hem. Write down the number of rows. 2.Edging Row: * K2tog, yo*. Repeat from * to * across the row. Check to make sure you end with the same number of stitches you began with. 3. continue in stockinette stitch until you reach the same number of rows you made for the portion that came before the Edging Row. It needs to be a mirror image. 4. Fold the work so the right side is facing out, knit together the first cast on stitch with the first working stitch. Knit together the second cast on stitch with the second working stitch, continue this throughout the row to join the cast on edge with your current working row. This will make a permanent fold in the fabric and the middle point where you did the Edging row will have a scalloped effect.
I simply fell in love with this! I have a couple of silly questions, though...if the repeat is *k2tog, yo* you should end with a yo, right? How do I do that? And what kid of cast on did you use? Thanks for the great tutorial!
+Stefania Bergami Any cast on works good with this pattern. I just used a simple long tail cast on. When ending with a YO, you would technique yo twice, locking your stitch on the needle.

Thank you so much! No one have ever explained it so well to me.
The best video demonstration I've seen on the Picot hem.
Lovely, clear instructions, to remind me how to create a picot edge. Not knitted one for many years. Thank you

Thank you for a great tutorial!
this video is SO helpful. thankyou
Thank you! Did you end up with the same number of stitches that you casted on?
Thanks, great quality tutorial.
Ive already knitted my baby blanket and was looking at ways to make a nice edge. This is lovely! I'm just worried about where I pick up the loops after I've folded it over 😳
I would like to use this on a throw. Can you tell me how to do this on all four sides?
Thank you! How do you seam these edges though?
Love it.Thank you.
Fabulous
Thank you very much 🙏
I'm trying to knit a shawl and the start is with 3 stitches and increase one stitch every row, knitting triangles. I can't understand how the row starts with a yf and back over needle before first st is worked. Does anyone know?
in the round for a cuff down sock , is what im trying to do ....
Can I use this stitch on the edge of socks?
Could you show how to do this in the round?
Does the cast on have to be a provisional cast on?
A great tutorial. Thank you!
How do you do it if you want to end with that edging.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I hv just completed a Fawn Coloured Cabled Cowl.Could you kindly give me your advice as to whether this Picot Edging will look good as an Edge to my Cabled Cowl? Am very much looking forward to your reply.Thank You.:-).
Thank you!
Thank you
I ddnt end with the same amount of stitches that I started with . could you help me figure out what went wrong ?
+Raveena Singh Make sure when picking up the cast on edge that it evens out with your stitches.
how do u do this for a cast off?
have you got some videos for the deaf please so i can read along with ? thank you
turn on the closed captioning. Click the CC on the lower right of the video and then follow the prompts. ILY.
Marie Cepeda The directions are as follows:
1. Knit in stockinette stitch to the desired length of the hem. Write down the number of rows.

Help my edge is rolling to the front on my hat, what can I do😂

Nice demo. BTW, there is no such word as ‘acrosst.’ It is simply ‘across.’
Rude!
Too blurry
Need subtitles for deaf people.
This is perfect! Thank you!
