picots
Tiny decorative loops
Picots are small decorative loops along the edge of lace, ribbon, or embroidery.
They form a delicate scalloped or pointed border, adding texture and ornamentation to fabric edges: The handkerchief was trimmed with picots.
In knitting and crochet, picots are made by creating a small chain that folds back on itself.
