What does PICOT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small decorative loop, or a row of such loops, worked along the edge of lace, ribbon, or crochet.
A picot is formed by looping the working thread back on itself and securing it with a stitch, creating a tiny raised loop along an otherwise straight edge. Lace makers and crocheters add a row of picots to give a plain border a delicate, scalloped look, and the same technique appears in tatting and knitting. The word can also serve as a verb, so a pattern might instruct a stitcher to picot every few stitches along the trim.
How PICOT is used
