[@zebnuri7517]

Brilliant as usual! Thank you.

[@jpeood32]

you are my knitting Guru!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Johnnie. You are very kind :-)

[@karenmowry4507]

Genius!

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Karen :-)

Brilliant! I've been putting the first row of the I-cord onto a dpn and doing a usual Kitchener stitch, but this looks so much easier.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Shayna. I am glad you like this little trick. Happy knitting!

[@alexvitale2726]

She is a genius

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you, Alex. You are very kind :-)

Amazing! You make it so easy to see and understand. And as always so neat and tidy. The extra thick yarn makes it very easy to see the stitches and follow what you are doing.

Thank you. LOL

Your tutorials are always so good!

I don't know how Maryna figures some of this stuff out. I'm sure it is a lot of trial and error, and having the patience to figure something out... but then I see tutorials like this and have to wonder if she has a background in engineering, too. For real. Always impressive.

[@10rowsaday]

Thank you so much, my dear friend! Yes, it is a lot of trial and error, but it is also a lot of joy knowing that my findings help other knitters. I feel very privileged to work for such a supportive community. Thank you!

Nice variation of the Kitchener stitch

[@gailaltschwager7377]

Wow! Thank you, Maryna!

[@tangledthreadworks]

That was so clever!

Could a provisional cast on be made at the beginning of i-cord? if so, would it be easier?

[@10rowsaday]

Absolutely! Provisional cast on will make a perfect start to an i-cord cast on worked in the round. When it is time to join the stitches, use the classic Kitchener stitch. I opted for the regular cast on at the beginning of the i-cord because (a) it is easier, and (b) it is less fussy to join open stitches to a set of "stable" stitches than to join two sets of open stitches. But if you feel comfortable both with the provisional cast on and the Kitchener stitch method, go for it. Happy knitting :-)
