Picot edging border

We will be crocheting the border with the yarn that is still attached to project (as we did not fasten off).

Round 1:

Ch 1 (=does not count as a stitch), and place SCs all along the first “side” of the wrap; once you reach the corner, place 2 SCs together before turning your project sideways and placing SCs all along the second “side” of the wrap.

Repeat this process of placing SCs all along the four sides of the wrap, making sure you space them evenly as you go along. Always place 2 SC into each corner of the project.

Once you place your last SC into the project, slip stitch into the 1^st ch or SC at beginning of round.

Round 2: Chain 3 (=DC), DC into next stitch into next stitch until you reach the first corner; in the corner, place 2 DCs together; now continue placing a DC into each stitch until you reach the end of the round, making sure you place 2 DCs together in the corners.

Slip stitch to first ch 1 or SC from the beginning of round.

Round 3: Chain 1 (=TC), place a SC into same first stitch; SC into next 2 stitches; chain 3, slip stitch through the front stitches of the SC to finish off this stitch (picot stitch).

[place a SC into next 3 stitches, chain 3, slip stitch through the front stitches of the SC to finish off this stitch] until eor.

Once you have gone all around the four sides of this shawl, slip stitch through 1^st slip stitch or SC from the beginning.

Fasten off, tidy up all loose ends.
