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 my other two ornaments that I did, this one is done with a smaller hook. The reason being 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.

Thank you so much for testing!

Skill Level: Easy

Materials: Yarn: Size 3 Crochet Thread
Hook Size: Steel hook 7/1.65mm
Other:

• 4.5cm Plastic Ring – I used a ring from a 4L water bottle, but any similar ring that size will work just as well.
• An exacto knife to trim the ring.

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.
