5 Ways To Make An I-Cord - Knit, Crochet, and Loom Knit!

[@danievantonder5064]

No nonsense, informative and very helpful. Thank you!

[@TonyMarzipan]

I've seen a version of the second crochet method, but instead of a long tail, you simply crochet with two different colors of yarn. You'd yarn over with one color and pull through the other, then alternate it. It makes a very nice striped cord :)

[@pacgirlschanel]

you are a freaking life saver!!!! I don't have an i-cord machine and it's not sold in my country, so I was not sure how to get this done. Then you appeared. Thank you, thank you!

[@evelyngood6056]

Thank you so much! I am making Christmas presents for 21grandchildren and I was struggling with crocheting and holding the stithes. The "game changer" method is going to speed up the process immensely! Thanks again!!!

[@TheSnugglery]

Wow, 21 grandchildren! You're living the dream 😍

[@smithrivervintage]

Your favorite method is now my favorite too! So much easier than all the other methods. Thanks

[@Leukothea]

OMG, the second crochet version looks PERFECT for my next project!! 😍😍 Thank you so much for demonstrating this!!!!

[@number1angel66]

Thanks for sharing! The last one would probably be my favorite! I'm looking forward to trying several of the ways you demonstrated! Blessings to all in love and light!🙏🏼💜🙏🏼💙🙏🏼🧡🙏🏼💛🙏🏼💚🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing!! I was always taught to use the double point knitting needles to make I-CORDS when you cast on your 3 or 4 stitches and knit them you just slide them down to the other side of the same needle they were worked on, hence, the purpose of a double pointed knitting needle being used, which is basically the same as how you used the cable knitting needle. Also regarding the crochet method, I think I will try it and use a thin stitch holder since I have problems with my hands and I would more than likely drop the stitches! Again, THANK YOU for sharing these different methods for I-CORD!!

[@TheSnugglery]

That's a great idea, I'd love to know if you have success with the stitch holder. If I need a cord 3 stitches or more, I definitely prefer the dpn/circular needle way too. I'm so glad you liked the video, thanks for watchin 😊

[@bm-kq2dy]

God bless you for helping us make 1-cord

[@MysticMary-g9s]

Great, all in one video! Thank you!

[@samlucas3893]

the second crochet method is amazinggggggggg! I saw it once a long time ago and could't remember how to do it, so your video is a lifesaver lol

[@pamburkhalter1884]

Wow!! That is SO cool!! Definitely trying these. Thanks so much.

[@artonawhimsy3776]

Wow, what a great choice of easy cords. !

[@brengutz960]

I agree, this is brilliant! thanks for this

[@michaelsangel73]

Probably good to show it from start on loom

[@craftyworkingmama]

Thank you for this video. I am going to try this with my loom knitter

[@donnakoerner4981]

My favorite way to icord is using a lucet. Some call it a knitting fork. It dates back to the Vikings. There are several ways to use it depending on the stretchyness of the yarn. Enjoy. 🙂

[@Smulenify]

I have a few lucets and absolutely love them! Though if people want to try this method without needing to buy a special tool there are some really creative DIY ways.

[@tinagriffith841]

Enjoying watching your videos for the first time. There is a 7th way... with a lucet.

[@KellyRusinack]

Thank you for this comprehensive tutorial! I also crochet and knit, and also look for the best way to do the job, regardless the craft. I need to make a strap, but the ribbon yarn I'm using is quirky. I tried using my lucet fork but the braid looked horrible! The same strap looked great using Bernat blanket yarn. I just don't like the "traditional" crochet way of dropping the stitches - my cats are always trying to get my attention away from my work, so I need to be able to set my work down at a moment's notice. If I had one of those French looms, I might use that, but I don't (I know I could craft my own but I'm not feeling that crafty today). The strap is for a crocheted purse, but I think I'm going to knit the i-cord handle. Thanks for helping me decide!

[@danyellewalters501]

Love this video! Very helpful! Thanks!

[@lowgio]

You're a star! Thanks for this tutorial! It is brilliant! I have been using a knitting mill but I hate that I can't use thicker yarn with it! I will try your methods👌👌

[@annylara6118]

So helpful!!! Thank you!

[@SherylKatz]

How about some more knitting on a knitting loom?? Would be fantabulous!!!!

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks again🌸🌼🌹 Michelle❤️

[@weevilgirl7948]

You can also knit icord on double pointed needles, easily slipping the work back and forth!

[@TheSnugglery]

Ya caught me... I don't have any DPNs🙈🙈🙈 don't tell the other knitters, I think they'll disown me!

[@Felicity2121]

GIRL YOU GOT THERE B4 ME

[@violetaroque2622]

Wow it works… I’m doing it on crochet hook your method👌

[@beachbum6781]

I use 1 pulling from center and the other from the outside, to Never run out of tail.

[@chrisb1682]

Brilliant! Used the baby crochet one...🌿

[@TheSnugglery]

awesome :D

[@sherellaginger3188]

I really like the last two ways. Will you please make a video showing how to make rows of I chords? I want to use them to make the brim of a beanie hat. Thanks.

[@charukulkarni4758]

Thank you so much 👌🙏

[@SoMagicalMichele]

So cool

[@frandefleurs5116]

Brilliant 😃

[@cassiejo0012]

Omg you're awesome!

[@TheSnugglery]

so are you!😄

[@juliasturdevant9289]

You can do it on a fork also in the fashion of the loom.

[@aileenbeyer5559]

Used the long tail method for shoelaces for baby booties. Worked great. Can you do more than 2 stitches?

[@twilightsdawningpalladino9997]

This probably won't help me today, since I need to get the item I am making in the mail in just a little while, but for future reference, how do you finish off the version that you make starting with a long tail? I can't imagine that you just leave the little tail hanging loose when you're done.

[@debfkeljenkins5495]

How do you cover the wire with this? Like if I made a name from wire and wanted to cover it?

[@30wenn]

My fast way is double pointed needles🧶

[@zixeiyun786]

What is I cord used for?

[@flickyfkosstitcher8547]

Whatever you want really; although, it's really good for edging detail, or even the handles of mug holders or bags.

[@Neighbourhood5555555]

How long do you knit it for the halterneck top?

[@samahbibi5849]

the very light green is very thin cord... how can we make the same method but thicker cord???

[@motherstation]

What are icords used for?

[@aafreenfatima5761]

Hi, can we put a wire through this icord? I made it but I cannot put a wire through it

[@BlueElCamino1970]

Ok I love the fastest method with the aqua yarn! Game changer is right! I can't wait to try this! But I want to know if you can do it with another stitch, to make it "square" like the rest of the Icords? I used to make my Icords by chaining the amount I wanted then slip stitching back over them. Makes the cord a bit more like a triangle shape, but still has the knit V look except the 3rd side.

[@TheSnugglery]

Ooo thats a cool method too. I'm gonna have to play around with it. Honestly I made this video almost as soon as I learned about the yarning over with the tail method 'cuz I was so excited 😂

[@LindaGraham-r6p]

Loom

[@123Sister100]

I'm curious to know what your project was that you needed so much I-cord for
