Picot Ornament
This is the last of my ornament patterns for now. This one is done with a small and a large picot stitch to create that lacy edging.
Unlike the other two ornaments that I did, this one is done with a smaller hook. The reason is that I needed a lot of stitches in order to cover the ring. That resulted in a floppy edging, but with a smaller hook, it came out nice. I found the hook was almost too small though and snagged my yarn a few times. So you’ll just have to be careful.
This ornament is perfect for the Christmas tree or other home decorations. Visit my Flower Ornament page for some ideas on how to use this.
If you are into recycling you can use plastic rings from water bottles or other bottles that you may have around your home. If not, you can try your local craft store for similar-sized rings to make your holiday ornaments.
If using the rings from water bottles, you’ll need to trim off these tabs with an exacto knife. Otherwise, they’ll peak through the thread.
For the yarn, I used a size three crochet thread. I love the thread because it is durable and will last you throughout the years to keep your ornaments looking new.
