How to Add an I-Cord Border

[@ccpperrett7522]

Your afgan is so beautiful. Thank you for demonstrating how to apply the I-cord.

[@PurlTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@joanneburgar3500]

I've been working on several 10st blankets.I asked on FB to find an I- cord bind off edge. So glad I found yours excellent simple instructions with no waffling talk in between it's straight to the point which is sometimes all you want. Great Job 👍👍 and thank you so much. I can finish my work now🧶🧶❤️❤️

[@knitballsoffire3231]

also, thank you for showing how to actually connect the two ends. Most tutorials leave it hanging as if we have to guess how to do that. I am so familiar with kitchener that it made total sense.

[@chrisb1682]

Really useful clip and gorgeous blanket. Thank you for posting 💕🌿

[@janessav.5280]

I have watched several of these I cord demos from various people and yours is the only one that shows how to finish it off; thank you!

[@analiamurua1971]

Finally after watching 15 videos in English and Spanish, someone shows how to finish I-Cord. Thank you!!! You have earned yourself a new subscriber. By the way how beautiful the blanket made with knitting patchwork. I say hello from Argentina! 👏👏👏👏🙌❤

[@PurlTogether]

Awesome, thank you!

[@wendystevens854]

Amazing, the only i- cord tutorial I could understand! Using it for edging my daughters balaclava. Thankyou!

[@PurlTogether]

You're very welcome!

[@joypolk3093]

Beautiful land where you live Jana! Lovely blanket also, really like your I cord choice!🤗

[@PurlTogether]

Thank you! 😊

[@lynntimmer1620]

You're ready for Winter now! It's a beautiful blanket.

[@gracegaughan90]

I've finished the Afghan finally🎉 Thank you for all the videos you put together for this knit along. Just took me 4 years😂

[@PurlTogether]

Yay! You did it. I hope you love it.

[@marymary5494]

Thank you so much. I’ve watched so many applied I-cord videos, yours is the one that makes sense to me. I like to understand how and why I’ve done a technique. 💕

[@Ampad22]

Thank you! clear to the point and very helpful.

[@analiamurua1971]

The finish is perfect!!! Thanks for sharing your technique!!! Oh I'm so happy to have found your channel and this video specifically!!!! Thanks, thanks and thanks!!!

[@PurlTogether]

[@chantalcollin9512]

Really nice I cord. You are a really good teacher. Thank you.

[@PurlTogether]

Thank you very much!

[@JesusJoy77805]

Heirloom projects take a long time to complete due to details. It takes time, not to hurray. This is such a beautiful 🧶blanket. I truly appreciate art. Do did a fantastic job👍🏼👏🏼🤗🤗 I know you're very proud. Congratulations 🎉

[@kcfield601]

Beautiful. Love the Icord. Thank you for sharing this technique.

[@PurlTogether]

You are so welcome!

[@sueboucher5729]

I wasn’t part of your KAL, but have been working on my Vintage Afghan for a couple of years. Wanting it finished, I put on a big push. Looking at it as it went together I thought, I want an I-cord edge, not crochet. Thank you for your KZbin video! Not only an I-cord, but on the same Afghan! Thank you! Thank you! It was easy and I love the results!

[@Sache_mit_Haken]

I knew this was possible! :-D All the other tutorials I found only show the join-as-you-go method! Thanks a lot!

[@PurlTogether]

You're very welcome!

[@elizabethzmetana6229]

I always love your videos. Finished up the icord on my memory blanket with this kitchener tutorial. Thank you.

[@sueboucher5729]

I also appreciated your suggestion of going up a few needle sizes for the border 😎

[@leighabresch8143]

Really good video. Thank you. The I-cord corner turning and grafting was especially helpful.

[@patmurphy5594]

Love your blanket thanks for the lesson on ivory binding.

[@amandaables3773]

Thank You for teaching me this 🙏🏻

[@knitlover1]

Very nice! Thanks for the video. When I'm doing an I-cord border like this, I use short DPNs and introduce another needle to knit with. This allows me to simply slide the worked stitches to the other (right) end of the working needle that holds the knitted stitches and work from there, instead of taking time to move all the stitches on that needle back to the "holding" needle. Then on the next round, I just work the last stitch on the working needle together with the first stitch on the holding needle. I don't use a holding needle on side borders but just work the last stitch on the working needle with the next stitch or purl bump on the side of the piece I'm adding the border to.

[@jenniecormier892]

I like this. It seems too fiddly to keep moving the stitches back and forth.

[@pegvanourny883]

One of the most helpful cord bin doffs I have seen! I am just finishing an afghan for my granddaughter who is starting college, and this tutorial will be a big help in finishing it. Thanks so much!

[@roxanngary1044]

Jana, can’t thank you enough for this video on attached I cord. I love the look!

[@PurlTogether]

You are so welcome! Looking forward to seeing your photos!

[@avkayaker1]

Beautiful Afghan 👋

[@DonnaBMacK]

Thank you for such a clear explanation of the icord. It looks great on that beautiful blanket. Take care!

[@meredithwickham5695]

Such a beautiful blanket!

[@maureenkirby514]

This was so helpful, thanks for providing such clear instruction. I have an Advent calendar shawl that will need an iCord edge and now I know what to do.

[@ruthietaylor5816]

Brilliant I never see the likes of this before. Thank you.

[@sudhaprabhakar5099]

Wow so clever……..thank you👍💐

[@charlottemoeller395]

This was so helpful, thank you😊

[@alicecarlson2338]

Thank you so much, This really helped me to be able to finsih the Mary Maxim Rainbow Entralac Blanket I started in April 2021, it is now October 2021, I may finish this month after your video! Much appreciated.

[@PurlTogether]

You are so welcome!

[@JessicaSmith-gd1fu]

Janna, thanks for all the friendly and very clear instructions. I have so enjoyed this KAL! I am still joining my blocks together. I will post a picture when I am done. After seeing the I-cord edge, I will definitely do that on my afghan. Mine will be a wedding gift for two special young folks who are getting married in September 2021. I used yarn given to me by his mother. The yarn came from her mother's stash. I call that heirloom. Thanks again!

[@nathanbryant1134]

I love how you explained this and showed it step by step. Thank you! I will be using this for my edging on making a poncho soon.

[@PurlTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Tinacrafts2]

Great way to finish. You’ve created a memorable heirloom for sure!. Glad this KZbin will be here “forever” as I’m only on block 15. Thanks SO much, Jana. Always wanted to learn this technique ❤️

[@jyotinarula5710]

So pretty .

[@fernie5128]

Beautiful blanket Jana and I love your Harriet's Hat as a topper. Fern in Minn

[@nadegearmour9378]

Thank you very much for such a clear and helpful tutorial. I just did this border on my mitered square blanket and it turned out beautiful and neat. I searched for an I-cord tutorial and most if not all had you pick up stitches all around the blanket (my blanket can fit on my King bed) with a monstrously long cable and then start the border. Your version was perfect with no need to purchase more supplies. Thank you.

[@PurlTogether]

Glad it helped!

[@gagoangwemoroka7993]

Beautifully done and honestly one of the best tutorials I've watched on the I-cord. Thank you for this

[@PurlTogether]

Glad it was helpful!

[@saskiaboudreaux1694]

Thank you for your explanations. Iam going to knit a bkanket soon. And really want to try a I cord bindoff this time.

[@Stephlovesnapping]

If I ever finish my squares I’d like to do this border! Thanks for showing how to accomplish it! ♥️♥️

[@ibriggie]

Awesome!! You taught me how to do an icord! I’m finishing my first cardigan with it I’m loving the look!! Thanks!! 👌🏻

[@thenursebotanicals7234]

Fabulous tutorial! Thank You so much. I'm finishing up with the Lizard Ridge afghan pattern and I think this icord border would look great!

[@dorothygriffin2354]

Lovely job Jana!!

[@Enig_Mata]

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@cathrynlotz5680]

got it at last,thank you

[@christygabany7395]

Absolutely beautiful!!

[@aletavanvuuren5748]

Wow, that's fantastic!!!!

[@westrose586]

Beautiful work!

[@marypfeffer997]

This was great! Thanks!

[@MarinaNougues]

Loved it, thank you so much, you’re wonderful

[@PurlTogether]

You are so welcome

[@aquinnahsun]

Hi, Jana. I finked out on the afghan project after just a couple of squares, but I do have a blanket I’m nearly finished knitting. I think this bind-off will be perfect for it. The blanket (Kemper Wray’s Coziest Memories) is done in fingering weight yarn, but I think a DK weight would be good for the border I-cord. Thanks for very clear and helpful tutorial.

[@katrinawagner6842]

This is so beautiful!!

[@doinafred3049]

❤❤❤❤

[@0424Cindy]

Love this! 💜

[@sueking6086]

Can you explain how you joined the squares so neatly.

[@PurlTogether]

Here is the tutorial video showing how I joined all the squares together! kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWSpaqh5n6qDmKc

[@susanvanvleck3957]

Too cool

[@kimpelk2901]

I am do a different stitches square blanket and I was wonder how to join a 2 square and can I use this video for my different square blanket?

[@PurlTogether]

Sure. Try it!

[@juliegogo2941]

Thanks!

[@knitballsoffire3231]

I find this to be the simplest and most efficient way to add on an i-cord finish. Thank you so much! I love it!

[@caryterelmes9751]

Where can I find info or videos on the afghan you have knitted please?

[@PurlTogether]

The link to the entire playlist is in the video description

[@kathytellier3806]

So if I tried this...and it wasn’t working for me...I can pull it out and just be back to my original work? I love the look but not sure of my confidence level yet.🥴

[@PurlTogether]

Sure!

[@ClaireRuddell]
