I-cord has dozens of uses. Use it in your knitting as surface
embellishment, as a tie, as edging - your imagination is the limit. I-cord
is simple to make - all you need is yarn and a pair of double-pointed needles.

How to Knit I-Cord (knit):
 |
Step 1: Cast on a few stitches.
I-Cord is usually made using 3 to 5 stitches. |
 |
Step 2: Knit one row. |
 |
Step 3: Do not turn the work. Just
slip your work to the other end of your double pointed needle. Your
working yarn will be at the "wrong" end of your work.
|
 |
Step 4: Pull the working yarn tightly along the
back of your work and knit the next row.
|
 |
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have I-cord of
your desired length. |
