Was this helpful? Which is your favorite tip?😍

[@renaebrooks1762]

I love the quickness of the narrow version and I found that using two different colors of yarn makes the resulting I-cord pretty cool looking.

[@crystalmerritt8955]

Tip #3 thank you! But will be trying # 4 soon!

[@colleenwilkowske8833]

This is super helpful. I’m using the method with a needle. I’d like to see a video on how to correct the icord if you dropped a stitch a few rows below 😮😊

[@yolo8285]

Tip #3 is my favorite! ❤ Now I can complete my crossbody bag. Thanks for sharing!

[@JayneSmith1960-UK]

OMG, Nicki! I have not attempted an I-cord before but needed one for my project today. The last method of creating one was genius. I whipped up a 36” cord in no time. Thank you so much. ❤

[@onwardbe]

thank you so much I am not a crochet but needed a icord you did a magnificent job

[@barbsanderson231]

Quick tip on the last skinny I-cord - work it using both ends of your yarn. Do the slip knot with both ends, then continue on. That way you don't have to guess how much yarn to pull off and can make the I-cord the length you need. Learned this the hard way and this was an easy fix.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Awesome tip 😀 thanks for sharing 😀

[@lisareed5473]

Love this! Was about to give up on the I-cord and this method using a needle was so much easier for me, thanks!!

[@luwandaartrelle4250]

I like the last one. The one where you work with the non working yarn. I just learned how to make the basic cord using only 2 loops.🤩

[@joanlobrutto2954]

Hi, thank you for doing these videos. They are very helpful

[@Pixiesantics]

THANKS NIKKI! Love these ideas.

[@RH-kv5bx]

Nicki thanks for all the tips I have found if I use a wooden needle the loops don’t slip so much for me. But I absolutely love the skinny one and of course the spiral one very nice too!

[@TuulaMaaria]

Thank you for the tutorial! I especially loved to learn the last one that makes a narrow cord.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Thanks so much ❤️

[@SharonCodyCowgirlCreations]

Best tutorial yet on I cord....thanks!!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

That makes me so happy 😀

[@kimhongtrinh9124]

Thank you very much the tips you have share to do i_cord. You are the good teacher.

[@peachesfireside178]

Thank you Nicki look forward to trying the last one and going to watch your spiral rope next while I crochet loafers with your candy cane border added.

[@dreamkitten3914]

Thank you for this tutorial ❣️❣️❣️

[@gallus15]

Thank you very much for these tips. Gonna try it today. I’ve had several attempts and didn’t succeed. I am positive with one of your tips I will succeed at last.

[@glendamoore355]

Thank You! You explain it so well. It looks easy (to me, a lefty beginner) now!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Thanks so much! So glad

[@kathymazzola1200]

Oh my goodness, i know this is crochet, but I just used number six to join two panels of a knitted cable afghan and it looks amazing! I’m so pleased. I’ve been looking for a join that would match well with the cables and not be too time consuming, and this was perfect. I have an outside slip stitch and then a knit stitch. I slipped the slip stitches together with a crochet hook and then did the icord stitch all the way up the seam. The knit stitch sits at the base on either side of the icord causing it to look more raised and like a ridge. So quick and easy and pretty! I love it. Thanks so much!

[@vanithalakshmi3510]

Thank you verymuch. It was very helpful to me.From India👌👌

[@jessicahilliard8838]

I've been using the last technique (tip 6) for years, and I love how fast it works up, but I have a really hard time figuring out how much tail to leave for specific lengths.

[@joicenakayanja3158]

Thanks so much dear u hv made my work easier dear

[@rahidaidaim8630]

Thank you for the awesome tips. I have been struggling to do this stitch for years!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

You’re so welcome 😀

[@user-fj8pc1wl6s]

I like the last one, very helpful. Thank you!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful

[@beadedwindsocks]

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

You are so welcome

[@marysimpson9506]

Yes, it was very helpful. Thank you. I particularly like the cable needle one and the thin one. I like the spiral cord too, but really need to practise that one... a lot.🥰

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

I'm so glad. ❤️

[@cherylyoder6898]

I really like the last one! It's so much quicker. Thank you!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful 😀

[@armandelefebvre3255]

thank you,very good.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Wow! Cool!

[@lisahill6817]

Thanks😊

[@makingandbakingwithlulu3422]

Thanks for the video. It was really informative. I will probably start with the last quick one. I crocheted a little poncho and I think it would look cute to weave the cord around the neck and tie a bow.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Glad it was helpful! I'm excited to see it ❤️ Join my Facebook Group "Crocheting with Nicki" so you can share your creations :-)

[@victoriasusilo9407]

Genius! Thanks for the tips :D

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Happy to help!

[@tamaraortizgarrido6388]

No manejo el idioma, pero explicas muy bien, viendo el video se hace fácil. FELICITACIONES desde Chile.

[@melanieshepherd7038]

awesome

[@shirleyscaff8888]

Thanks for this tutorial. I already know I’m going to be using these stitches for several projects.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Wonderful!

[@le0ner]

Thank goodness you made this video, I have not been able to find one online and when I tried it before, I gave up because I thought it was not correct cause mine was not as tight as the persons in the other videos. Thank you!

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful 😀

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

So glad it was helpful 😀

[@leilavanrosi3654]

Thank you for sharing, I have been looking for shopping bags cord, is there another pattern you could share that is not stretchy... You explain so well, thank you 🇨🇦

[@jennasorscia9044]

If you make your slip knot with one skein and then attach a second skein to the non working end, you can work from both as long as you want.

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

True 😀

[@karenmalmgren3238]

To make the last cord you can take a yarn cake and pull for the inside and out side ends to make a cord as long as you want without running out of yarn. Also use two skeins of the same color or another if you want a variation of colors in the cord.

[@marysnook7278]

I’m going to attempt to use more than one colour of yarn. Do you think it’ll work?

[@shdonnabolden4777]

Can you make it if you want to put it on a purse

[@katefan7777]

I wonder if a double ended crochet hook would work....

[@cathygoodman148]

Im puzzled, when I do it..its basically a pannel, its not joined, like a cord? the stitces either side are not linked to each other..

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

Make sure you are going in rounds not rows

[@natford8271]

First one is knitting with a crochet hook. 😉

[@NickisHomemadeCrafts]

I guess you could say that 😊😉😆

[@barbaranance7055]

Can you explain to me what is an I cord

[@patricialea4024]

Bit like Dolly Peg knitting, but that used 4 pins on a peg. Used for straps, cords to pull-through on bags and hats etc, bag handles, belts.....

[@katefan7777]

Example... Hoodie cord to tighten the hood.
