How to make I-Cord

At the knitting group last week. I was asked by the person sitting next to me how to make I-Cord. It's really easy, but the concept can be confusing. Try it - Good luck!

How to Make I-cord

You use two double pointed needles.

Basically, you knit across your stitches but never turn your work. The right side of your work is always facing you.

To get the yarn to the *working side* or right edge of the next row, you slide your working stitches to the right edge of your double pointed needle, then you simply pull the yarn that's at the end of the row snuggly across the back of your knitting and knit the first stich of the row.

Keep going and you make a very nice rounded cord. It doesn't look right at first, but after a 1/2" or so, you should start to see the cord emerge.

You can also go to My Favorite Links on the right side of the page - "Knitting Help" and look up I-cord. She has great videos on how to do it.

Keep on Nittin!
