Cthulhu Pattern Special Stitches Picot stitch: sc, ch 5 then double back inserting hook in middle of the top

of the sc and through the middle of the legs of that sc as well, make a sl st to hold in place. I'm using the picot stitch method that's described in The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller. I understand there are other ways to make this stitch, and probably any of them would be fine for this pattern, the important part is to ch 5, and to only work in the front loop when indicated.

I got really confused by the wording "opposite the feather end" but what it means is the top of the wing. If you hold the wing so that the spikey bits face downward, then it's along the wobbly top line that you want to put that last row of dc's. +or the 2o( /thulhu - didn.t do the last row of dc.s so his wings are narrower, but the( also keep tr(ing to curl in on themsel)es. -t.s that last row along the top that makes e)er(thing la( flat.
