Tank you very much for taking the time to help us I-Cord challenged knitters. Your video has been a project saver 🙏🏻👋🤗

[@mjmcc-]

Best instructional video on the Internet demonstrating this BO in the round all the way through to grafting the last few stitches and weaving in the ends. Beautifully executed, explained, and filmed in a way that is easy to follow and see... the contrasting colors are a definite plus! Other vids were hard to follow, with distracted, meandering dialogue, fuzzy or hard to see filming, or were filmed without any instructional dialogue whatsoever and/or with loud, distracting music. Thank you for making a vid that made learning this daunting technique so easy... it turned what promised to be a frustrating, dispiriting endeavor into a pleasant venture with delightful results. 🙏👍🏆🧶❤️

[@heyBrownBerry]

Incredibly clear and helpful. Thanks 🎉

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! I'm happy I could help!

[@DanaDeichmann]

Awesome video. This was my first attempt at an I cord bind off. Your instructions were very clear, shown slow enough that I could follow along and,so complete including the grafting at the end. So happy I found this video.😊

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad it helped! Thanks so much!

[@Laura-sq4jg]

Best i-cord tutorial. It was very helpful for me! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@chrisbrown2820]

Excellent instruction. Thank you for this video. I have added it to my saved knitting instruction folder.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks so much!

[@katieanncarochi3723]

Thank you for the clear instructions. I have watched plenty of videos on how to do this technique and have never been successful until now.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Yea! That's so great to hear! Thanks for letting me know!

[@theresadoll5374]

Yes, this is “really cool”! Thanks for sharing

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad you liked it! Thanks!

[@sofiabrannerud857]

Really easy to follow! Thank you for a great tutorial! I just finished my I-cord BO neckline, so beautifully thanks to this video 🤗

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

That's fantastic! Great to hear it worked well for you!

[@squidminion3801]

This is really useful, thank you! I've just done my first i-cord cast off and this was really simple to follow - I would never have thought of taking off the other needle to stop it slipping!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

So glad I could help!

[@shelbyrose2791]

"And repeat this about a million more times" 🤣 Thanks for the laugh and simple explanation!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad I could help on both counts! ;)

[@kathyalexander3905]

Well done!!!! I'm using your Technique right now and it's superb. Thank you!

[@noreenesposito8885]

Thank you. I was really struggling with trying to make sense of the last part of a knitting pattern. Now have a lovely I-Cord finish while following your clear explanation and demo.

[@bronwynhahn]

So glad I could help you out!

[@betsstanford]

Very good video. I really like that you put the 'times' in the description for the different parts.

[@littleredd0g]

Great video, thank for taking this all the way through to the grafting process!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! I'm glad I could help!

[@trystewilber9307]

Superhelpful, thank you!! I love the tip of using the stopper on the circular -- I really wouldn't have thought of that. Also, the fact that you used high-contrast colors for the demo is WONDERFUL!! Really appreciate it 😀

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks!

[@catherinebauroth4828]

THANK YOU!!!!! So helpful!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Yea!! So glad I could help!

[@katiemanfroni5324]

Best icord video out there! Thank you so much this allowed me to finish a sweater and I was stuck until I found this.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks so much! Glad I could help!

[@path9570]

Great explanation! Thank you. I couldn’t understand the pattern instructions. You were a lifesaver.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! Yes, sometimes a video is so much easier to understand.

[@charlotteborgeson4946]

Excellent description of the end--joining with the beginning. Thank you!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad you found it helpful! Thanks!

[@lula456]

Thank you so much, throughout the whole video you explained everything so clearly and it was really helpful to see the bind off in a contrasting colour. Amazing video 💛

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad it helped!

[@Laurie_in_Maine]

Thank you (again - as I seem to thumbed-up this video before!). Refresher course of the day :)

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Haha! Glad I could help again! It sounds like it would be a good idea to save this video to your playlist. Then you can come back to it easily next time.

[@YUSHIE98]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing! And love the scissors!!!❤

[@bronwynhahn]

Thanks!😁

[@johnkorenkiewicz8539]

Very clear explanation. Thanks so much.

[@SunnyCASunnyCA]

What a perfect i-cord join at the end! Very clear video! Onward to my own, first i-cord in the round!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! Good luck to you! I'd love to see how it works out for you. If you share your project on social media, be sure to tag me. I'm @bronwyndp on Ravelry, Instagram, and Twitter.

[@willowmoonlabradors]

Very nice! I'll be using the closing up part very shortly.

[@Susan-yb3hh]

Xcellent because you use contrasting treat for your demonstration!😊.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

So glad I could help.

[@jlc928]

Great video, thank you very much. So glad you demonstrated using the throw method.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll keep that in mind as I make new videos.

[@heathercope8026]

Brilliant, my written instructions left me baffled. This is very easy to follow¡

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

I'm so glad I could clear that up! Thanks for subscribing!

[@TheDashaful]

What a clear and fun video and tutorial. You are very clear and easy to follow. Fabulous. 🌼

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thank you so much!

[@lubrito63]

Thank you so much! I used this information for finishing my gorgeous topdown pants.

[@michellethompson5755]

Bronwyn, thanks so much for this video. BTW, I love your name. If I had a daughter, I was going to name her Bronwyn.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the video. I can't take credit for my name, but I like it, too. 😉

[@chjdecember]

Absolutely brilliant thank you. I now feel confident to do l-cord bind off on the sleeves of my cardigan.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Wonderful!

[@tinas8460]

Wonderfully explained and clearly shown, especially the finishing part is extremely helpful. Thank you for your time and effort :)

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks for watching! Glad I could help!

[@magorzatadudziak2092]

Thank you very much!

[@melissawoodruff302]

This was my first I-cord edge, and the pattern didn't give clear instructions how to finish. Thank you for this video tutorial!!

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

I'm happy I was able to fill in the gap!

[@amywhite350]

This was so helpful, thank you for sharing!

[@eliedgecomb4903]

Sooooo helpful. Seeing how you cast on the left needle with the working yarn from the right made all the difference! Thank you.

[@sage0925]

Thanks. I knitted the original pattern for my husband's hooded vest, but I'm going to make improvements on mine, and one of them was to pick up stitches around the garter stitch arm holes and do an in-the-round I-cord edge, as I don't like the garter stitch edge on his vest arm holes. This will be very helpful.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Glad I can help! Thanks!

[@The-Cute-One]

Great explanation of the I-cord bind off, nice tidy grafting shown at the end. Thanks😁

[@delphinestephan6427]

Thank you so so much ! So helpfull

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@snvazquez724]

Best icord tutorial, thanks for sharing!

[@dianapodawiltz5785]

Very good video. My first time to use I cord bind off. Really appreciated the step by step for the last 3 stitches

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

I'm so happy you found me! Glad I could help!

[@suttipasungyut4449]

Thank you

[@lynnetaylor8974]

Good video.. Thanks.

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thanks! Happy to help!

[@dianeazzopardi6269]

Excellent

[@BronwyntheBraveDesigns]

Thank you so much 😀

[@bdarci]

I was knitting along with you. Unfortunately this was the second sleeve of a sweater. I doubt that the recipient will get out her magnifying glass to see where the first sleeve's icord went wonky, but this one looks great. Thank you.

[@bronwynhahn]

So glad I could be there for the second sleeve!

[@danalear8562]

Nice graft, thank you. The white yarn was a bit reflective though.

[@CassieDA17]

Thanks. Mine didn’t come out nearly as nice. As yours, guess I need some practice

[@MarlyBird]

good job :-)
