So instead of working right to left. You will be working left to right. The picot stitch border is worked as normal, right to left.

Crab Stitch Border
Reattach the second color (WeCrochet Dishie color Inlet) to the last stitch of your last row and chain 1.
Insert your hook back into the last stitch, *yarn over, pull through (2 loops left on hook), yarn over, and pull through last 2 loops. Insert your hook into the next stitch and repeat the sequence from * in each stitch around the washcloth.
Once you have finished your last stitch, slip stitch to the first stitch.
Finish off and work in tail ends.
(note – you’re working left to right)
Picot Edge Border
Reattach the second color (WeCrochet Dishie color Inlet) to the last stitch of your last row and chain 1. Then make 1 single crochet in that same stitch and make 1 single crochet in the following stitch. Chain 3 and make a slip stitch in the top front loop of your single crochet stitch.
Now you will repeat that sequence all the way around your washcloth. So you will make 2 single crochets, chain 3, and slip stitch to the top front loop of your single crochet stitch.
Once you have made your last stitch (single crochet), you’ll want to work one more single crochet in the first stitch where you added your new color. Chain 3 and slip stitch to the top front loop of your single crochet stitch, then slip stitch to the following stitch to finish your work.
Then work in your remaining tail ends.
