How to Knit an I-Cord

[@biljanaercegovicstefanovic1800]

This is a revelation for me, earlier I used much more difficult way of making I-cord and always avoided making it. Thanks a lot. Very helpful!

[@Pinkyton]

I'm attempting my first pattern. It's a bralette top with straps. I *panicked* when I read that she had crocheted the straps! I already have hooks but never tried them. I saw a note about i-cord crotchet for stronger thicker straps and I am beyond pleased to find out how simple they are to make. And I already have double pointed needles! I'm totally gonna practice this. I'm so glad to have found your video! ❤

[@rhiannonjones84]

Great! I'm a 13 year old female in high school and I am making a top for the first time but having been knitting since I was 6! This was so helpful thanks! xx

Whatt does being a girl have to do with what u just said

[@apunong7212]

​@@snnssabsnba406 was just saying I guess? She was showing her grateful feeling to the creator with her experience and all. What's that question gotta do with the comment?

[@HornedPandaWasTaken]

@@snnssabsnba406 Tell me you’re an asshole in one sentence without telling me you’re an asshole. 🙄

[@Selene229]

Thanks for the clear tutorial. It's also nice to see the finishing for the i cord as well.

[@Freestile74]

Hi Jennifer! You save the day with this tutorial! Thanks for being there for us! Happy knitting!

[@maroqui05]

Most feared words for a beginner: "just do it as you normally would". Thanks.

[@VITORIAMORAN-fz4tf]

This is not a “start here guide to knitting” it’s a specific technique to be applied in certain projects. If you’re just picking up knitting for the first time I suggest watching “cast on”, “knit and purl”, and “cast off” videos so you can pick that up first and not get discouraged in trying to follow a pattern

[@lauramay9717]

I'm glad you said you could make an I-cord with 6 sts, that encouraged me to close the crown of a baby hat with a little one and it came out great!

[@l2iowacowgirl893]

Thank you! I bought a hand crank I cord maker. The yarn gets tangled, and I'm grateful to try this technique.

[@ms.annthropic6341]

I remember seeing patterns that mentioned I-cords but for some reason I always thought they seemed difficult. This tutorial makes it all so easy to understand though, I'm sure I can make one now. 🙂 Thanks a lot for this video, it gave me an idea for a craft project right away! 😄

[@Ojusaw49]

This was the best demo on making an icord I have ever viewed. Thanks much.

[@saharhawasli8567]

Wow! Never thought how easy it is, thank you for sharing.

[@iknit2632]

Well done with clear instructions and great camera angles. Thank you.

[@tdivadesigns]

I don't think I would have tried this if I had not seen your video. You're a great teacher.

[@claireskey5439]

Fabulous tutorial. I've been trying I cord on the French knitter and use the cord for weaving, but it seems a very slow process. I don't knit very much, but I think I like this method. Thanks a bunch.💖🇦🇺

[@marishaannhuskey4385]

Hey Jennifer, Thank you for such a nice tutorial on how to knit an I-Cord. I appreciate the three stitch technique. Exactly the one I need to finish a project. And it’s so neat to see someone else that knit without nail polish. :D And Thank you for the suggested uses.

[@pallmall5014]

I've been searching for a good icord tutorial to no avail until I found yours. It was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

[@kathleennece715]

Thank you. I had forgotten how to make one. It’s been a long time.

[@kittycatfluffy]

Thank you so much! I’m looking back at a pattern and couldn’t for the life of me remember how to do I-cord!

[@luchia4tom134]

Thank you very much for this. It's clear and easy to see what your doing and I was able to pick this up quickly! I'm planning on doing many long ones to hang from my windows to prevent the flies coming in so thanks ^.^

[@TinaHarshbarger]

When I was looking at knitting needles I saw that there were the double pointed ones and the (I think) standard looking needles... so eventually I'll probably want both kinds but think I can deal with just a standard set! Thank you for showing us how to do this!

[@amandaryznar3127]

If you can only buy one pair of needles, I think a long circular would be the way to go. You can use them as you would standard needles (back and forth) or to knit large projects in the round, or smaller projects in the round by using the magic loop method. I realized while watching this video, they can also be used to make an icord:)

[@SheMakesKnots]

Thank you. You explained it perfectly. I finally know how to make icord. 👍

[@mecfstraveler]

I have really enjoyed learning this! I like the variety you have on your KZbin channel! I look forward to seeing what you add next!

[@nonsense7831]

Thank you so much! I will give it a try ❤

[@bonnadowns524]

WOW🙏💕❤️💗 Thank you so much for your video 👌

[@barbarapalmer5890]

Awesome Tutorial!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@vakhakuono]

Can I use long circular needle?

[@Isabel-of4wq]

I’d say no … if you try it you’ll see why it doesn’t work for a handful of stitches

[@knitpurlsquirrelwithgrannydee]

Love this i-cord method! Thanks!

[@kiranroy2063]

Can anyone help me with this? I tried pulling the working yarn which is in the left most side, to knit the right most side of the cast on stitch. since m pulling the last stitch (working yarn) towards the first, a straight line is forming at the back of my stitch through out. I am not understanding whats wrong with the technique am doing.

[@pop510]

Thanks for the easy tutorial! I'm planning on making a floor pillow and got confused when the pattern I picked out said I needed to make an i-cord. The book I've been learning from doesn't have any instructions for making them and my Grandma didn't know what I was talking about when I asked her about them!

[@kimberlyphan5070]

Thank you so much for the quick and helpful tutorial!

[@fabiolagonzalez3970]

Could we knit a 12 stitches Icord???? Thank you!! 🙋‍♀️❤️🇨🇱😃

[@shawnaschmidt3747]

What if you don't have double point needles and you need to make handles for a bag can you just do flat handles and how do you add handles to the bag

[@NorahsYarnArt]

Thanks ❤

[@susiewhite9154]

Very clear instructions!

[@moonstonegoddess]

ohmygawd....I want to do this so bad and im trying and trying and cannot pull the cord tight enough to make the "round".....what am I doing wrong?

[@pheeinpa52]

Can u wind it into a circle and make coasters?

[@miamlatindiva]

Would this work to make a Christmas garland to decorate a Xmas tree?

[@needlepullingthread1573]

What!!! Your AMAZING!!! I wanted to add to my baby hats!!!! YES!!!!! Thank you

[@0hMyLife]

Awesome video!! Thank you!!

[@emmakilgore3510]

What do you do If you don't have double pointed needles

[@bxgal347]

Ty for easy instructions, u got itself a new subby 🙌

[@usmanhaider22]

Oops

[@bxgal347]

[@fernandaspino9793]

Great tutorial.

[@lauramartens5516]

Thank you !

[@pchaves8636]

Good tutorial, it looks so easy!!

[@jenoscape47]

I’m confused. I’m sliding to the other end but mine is still flat? It’s just got weird pieces of yarn ahh the back like a ladder

[@Iggystar71]

Slide it down and don’t turn your needles.

[@scribadibdib]

I still dont know what im doing wrong here..im doing it just like shown but its not looking the same

[@marmarcos6366]

Es genial, me ha gustado mucho este sistema de hacer cordones. Muchas gracias

[@bsb8132]

Thanks for the tutorial. Clear and well done.

[@MetalBabe4]

This is more easy than crochet

[@karenescalera8193]

Thank uou. Better thsn crocheting which asks one to drop the two stitches. I either dropped one ir thd stich became unmade.

[@Hilushenka]

Oh..thank you..I tried some instructions and could bot get it .yours in a sec....Maybe you have Kitchners stitch video... I lost patience with this one ..haha...

[@dhoralynngonzalez2377]

What does the sliding do?

[@lisabellamy8424]

It puts the working yarn in position to close the gap at the back & pull it into a circle.

[@DavidRodriguez-yz9jz]

i cep on doing it but it ceps on mesing up

[@margies5625]

I Cord was originally Idiot Cord, a la Elizabeth Zimmerman's Knitter's Almanac, 1974. Look on page 146. As I remember, the name came about because, more or less quoting tho I've not yet found it in the book, so simple even an idiot could make it. I love the hat and found out from one group mine should be yellow. Well.....maybe.

[@libbyworkman3459]

@Margie S. Thank you so much for the Elizabeth Zimmerman quote. I have read that a person stays alive as long as someone alive still remembers them. Which means Elizabeth Zimmerman will be alive long after I am gone.

[@seniaral9857]

[@yongyi4086]

you so smart. i will try now. Thanks. hahaha

[@watchgoose]

peachy!

[@etm567]

Hey, that's not "our" needle. It is yours. I have my own. This drives me totally insane, this, let's do this, and let's do that, with OUR yarn and OUR needle. There are other words in the English language, like you and me, and yours and mine, that work JUST FINE. I am not five years old!
