In this step-by-step crochet stitch tutorial I show how to make the winkle picot stitch. This crochet stitch tutorial includes photo instructions and a video tutorial (see below). For this crochet stitch you should know how to make a single crochet. The winkle picot stitch is a repeat of one row. It is very easy to make and it is suitable for crochet beginners. This crochet stitch is reversible and it looks the same on both sides.
For this tutorial I use Hjertegarn Diamond mercerized cotton 8/4, 50 g = 165 m, color: sea green 706, and a 2.0 mm hook.
