Yes, you can make i-cords in different ways. What is nice is when people are willing to make videos to teach me and I can learn the way I like best - or do all the different ways whenever I choose! Thank you! I just practiced your way and it's fun.

[@karenchrist5230]

Luv it! Been crocheting for 55 years and this is the first time I have seen this. Thank you.

[@anjanasharma9012]

Me too seen it first tym

[@TheMldy]

Thank you sooooo much!!! I've watched lots of how to make i-cord videos,but none of them was as clear as this one.I really liked it!!

[@RunWayUnderground]

Wow! thank you for that! It's so much better to actually watch a stitch/technique being done than just reading the directions. Your demo was concise, accurate and very easy to follow. Thanks!!!

[@drschafer95]

I had no idea that you could crochet an I-cord. I have been knitting cords for years and this seems so much easier. Thanks for a easy to follow video. Diane

[@k9sandcats268]

As a crochet or of over 45 years I thought I knew it all. This video has been invaluable to me. right up there with the foundation single crochet chains and the gapless turning chain. Thank you so much!!

[@annafeatherston9216]

You have the best voice for tutorials. This was great all the way around, plus very relaxing to listen to.

[@kayross2044]

I had never heard of i cords and just want to thank you for sharing - GREAT!

[@adamh8908]

This was literally my 10 or 12 time crocheting and got it the first time (sorta. Little loose). Love straight forward, slow, and easy to follow instructions.

[@michellenash6802]

This is the easiest way to make an icord that I've seen yet!!!! Thank you so very much!!!

[@marianneyag4106]

I agree. I have seen other people do it. But she is the best. Very simple and straightforward!! :)

[@deenabailarina]

Thanks so much for this! I don't crochet and I knit just a little, but I found this way to crochet I-Cord to be far easier than knitting it! I've just made 10.5 yards of jumbo i-cord (made using "Country Loom" yarn and a 6.5 mm hook) in a couple of hours. For those who mention "why not use the little crank machine", I would point out that you can only use up to size 3 yarn on those and so can only make relatively thin i-cords. The I-cord I just made using this technique used size 6 jumbo yarn and the resulting i-cord is about an inch in diameter! I think I'm going to make a bunch of this size and use about 60 yards to make a big, arm knit pouf! The arm knitting part will only take 30 mins or so, so the time investment will be in making the i-cord, but it's well worth the time invested... :)

[@sandragrata5029]

Ms Gilbank, I'm new to crocheting and your videos have been a great help whenever I get stuck. Thank you!

[@sethballinger6517]

Thanks for this video! As I am only a crocheter this is an amazing video to have bookmarked! I have several ideas already for this i-cord, show laces, eye glasses holders, and amigurumi dog lease and belts, this will even be great to add tie-stings to my crochet hats! THANKS SO MUCH! Now I don't have to ask someone else to knit me an i-cord, I can do it myself with practice, time and patience! Thanks again for an awesome video!

[@yasminfernandes2856]

As brasileiras precisam aprender a ensinar como você. Elas são maravilhosas no crochê. Mas para ensinar fazem tudo muito rápido. Pessoas com grande nível de dificuldade como eu sofrem para aprender. Mesmo pausando o vídeo. Mas o seu vídeo está maravilhoso 😍😍😍 parabéns pelo modo como ensina. Com calma, e com jeito.

[@marianneyag4106]

Wow thank you so much for teaching, slowly and very clear instructions. I had to go through a few other videos and it was complicated. But your instructions are perfect. I just watched you the first time and got it and made absolutely stunning bag handles. Thank you so much :) xx

[@kathyintraining5720]

[@ileanawursten2205]

Es cierto. Muy claro.

[@catea6838]

thank you so much for this. I am so grateful that there are instructional videos like yours on this site, because I have tried reading the books, but the pictures and the explanations always sound like Greek to me.

[@paperbagley]

Excellent !!!! I just finished a girls top and needed a cord at the bottom....this i-cord will work great! I will be posting on my blog within the week or so. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@lindastoval3275]

[@BinCaAlors]

Thank you so muck for taking the time to record this tutorial!

[@Soniyamas]

Can't thank you enough for this tutorial. Be blessed!!

[@Marny5580]

This is a really nice way to do i-cords!! I haven't tried knitting an i-cord but, for some reason, your demo is more to my liking. I have one of those Knitting Nancys which is fun - because I never did that as a child. I still like your method best. Thank you!

[@candaceawalt4560]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am a show me person, I sometimes find it hard to read directions and get it. I like the visual. Very good.

[@northcoastize]

Thank you for sharing! I'll use this technique for making skinny arms & legs for amigurumi projects! Very clear explanation & good close ups.

[@bellajane9064]

Thankyou for this I love it

[@PukeysMom1]

I used a small cable needle for the first two loop as I had trouble just holding them tight with my finger but this is ingenious! Thank you!

[@LoveLynetteTan]

So glad I found this video. Followed along and made a perfect i-cord in black! Thank Ü!

[@footfault]

Thank you so much! After mastering the granny square last year and producing a bedspread and pillow cover, I wanted to do something a little different, so now I'm following your directions to make a light belt for over a tunic-style blouse.

[@kako626]

とても分かりやすくてすぐ編めました👍ありがとうございます😊

[@IrisHanniwu]

Too cool!!! Thank you for sharing this video!! It's like a loom knit on crochet hook!!!!! It helped me a lot!!! Thank you very much fir teaching!!!

[@jamesv2725]

very clean and clear instructions. thank you.

[@chrisoulakiratzoglou6375]

I was wondering since time ago about this interesting type of cord. Actually, it was easy, thanks to your simple directions!

[@elainelima701]

Obrigada. Mesmo não entendendo uma palavra consegui entender aprender e fazer. O foco do vídeo e o movimento suave de suas mãos valem por mil palavras. Gratidão

[@consuelodamore9414]

Thank you June! this is beautiful.

[@teresapoulson2558]

OH my GOODNESS! Thank you for this video! You make it easy to learn new things and I love that!

[@gracielaguerra6200]

hi I´m from Ecuador and I love the way you explain everything it´s really easy for me to understand you..thank you for teaching me all those nice things

[@michellebrown5672]

I use this for my starter chain on more difficult projects, like trying to work with small fluffy yarn. It's hard to see exactly where to put the hook with a regular starter chain. This makes is super easy and gives it a nice edge even with shells.

[@mariaogan3426]

Thanks. You make it look easy. Like to try. ❤

[@archaicbro]

Oh my gosh, thank you! You saved me nine dollars on a pattern!! Super clear instructions too!

[@jacquelineduru683]

I didn't even know you could crochet an i-cord. I have only knit them and I'm 73. Thank you, great tutorial ♥

[@theluckyfr0g]

Omg thank you. I was trying to make an I cord with a spool knitter and I quickly decided that spool knitters are the worst. This is much faster and makes a much better product, so I'm back on track with a project I was thinking of abandoning lol

[@irodadedabaeva234]

Cool video! It turned out beautifully. Thank you!

[@fiberoberta]

Very clever. I usually do a knitted icord, but I'll definitely try this. Thanks
