Fig. 533. Double crossed knot.

Looped picot and knotted picots (figs. [534] and [535]).—Looped picots are made along a row of knots by setting the knots, far enough apart for the loop between, to form a picot when the knots are drawn up close together. In fig. [534], the detail a represents the picot, in its first open stage, detail b the same picot when it is finished.

Fig. 534. Looped picot.

Knotted picots, fig. [535], are formed after one or more flat double knots, by a knot made in the outer thread; to get this knot into the right place, make it on a big pin and draw it up close to the flat knot before you take out the pin.
