Difficult Stitch Explanations
-
Picot Stitch: A decorative stitch made by chaining a specified number of stitches (usually 3 ch), then working a slip stitch or single crochet back into the very first chain or the base of the chain. This creates a tiny, sharp point or loop, which is used here to give the bat wings their distinct, textured shape.
