A picot stitch is made with chain stitches. For a small picot, chain 3, then put a slip stitch in the first chain stitch. For a larger picot, do 5 stitches the same way. If you chose to change the amount of stitches, odd numbers are best so that there is a middle stitch.

How do you crochet the second row?
The technique for crocheting a second row in a piece differs for each stitch. For example, for single crochets, you go up one chain, turn and go into the first loop on your piece (the top that looks like a braid or a v). For double crochet, you generally chain up 3 and go into the second stitch of the row. The number of chains needed may vary depending on the personal tension of the crocheter and how tall your stitches are. However, it is important to note that in single crochet, the chain up does NOT count as a stitch and in double and triple crochet it does. This makes a difference in which stitch is worked as your final stitch of the succeeding rows. If you miss the last stitch, or you go into the wrong first stitch, you will lose or add stitches on each row causing your work to go in directions you did not plan. You might like to check tutorials on Youtube which demonstrate the technique.

What does gauge mean when crocheting?
Gauge in Crocheting or Knitting would be the number of stitches per inch.You would make a swatch, and check it for the correct stitches/inch. To make a swatch, you will make a sample of the pattern. Using the suggested weight yarn (or specific yarn called for in the pattern), and suggested hook/needle size, begin crocheting a square--approximately 6inches by 6inches.After following the pattern, get a tape measure, and measure a 4inch by 4inch section in the middle of the swatch (you really need to not measure from side to side on the swatch, as most people crochet differently on the edge, than in the field of the item).Then you would count out how many stitches you made over 4inches in the row, and then how many rows you had in 4 inches. Then divide those numbers by 4 to get an average stitch per inch, and row per inch.Compare that with the gauge given in the pattern. What you are attempting to do to make sure that your project will match with the pattern as written. Otherwise, you could end up with a sweater too small, or large. Checking your gauge helps you determine what adjustments you might need to do to the pattern to have it end up as you need it to.

Can I whip-stitch my sweater that I am crocheting instead of sewing it?
Yes, with crocheting that should look fine. I wouldn't advise using a whip stitch with knitting as it will show and not look very good. But with crochet, because of the way the yarn loops around in the stitches, a whip stitch will not be particularly noticeable.
