Speckle & Pop Section 1

0:01 I-cord cast on
0:42 Using MC1, k3, pick up and k84 sts along I-cord edge.
1:23 Next Row (WS) Pick up and k3 sts from the I-cord cast on edge
2:09 end of Row 3 (RS)
2:22 Row 4 (WS): M1L
3:16 Row 8 (WS)
3:50 Row 9 (RS)
4:28 Row 9: sl1, pick up a stitch from 2 ridges below and knit it together with the slipped stitch.
5:12 Row 9: k2tog, slm, k1 while closing the gap, k1, pass first stitch over.
6:25 end of Row 9
7:00 Row 11: k2tog & ssk
7:31 I-cord bind off
7:45 Graft the remaining 6 stitches together using kitchener stitch
Needles: I recommend a 40” US 4 / 3.5mm circular needle
Gauge: 22 stitches and 52 rows = 4” / 10 cm with garter stitch
Stitch gauge is more important than row gauge. I recommend trying to get as close to 22 stitches as possible. If you have a looser tension (fewer stitches per inch), you may require a bit more yardage. I have factored in some wiggle room for yardage so if your yarn type or tension is a bit looser, I will address that factor in the last couple weeks of the KAL to accommodate some yardage variations.

"This is also a strand of yarn" I don't know why but that cracked me up. Your videos are always so helpful and fun. Thanks!

[@donnajohnson9834]

Stephen, you are absolutely the best knitting teacher - so clear, so well- organized, so inspiring! I may go back to the very beginning of my knitting knowledge and start over! Ive never tried anything as complex as this example, but you give me confidence that I could do it, step by step with you!

[@rachelleandrichard]

Wow Stephen! It's genius. What great instructions. You really are an architect. Even my husband wants to knit after watching that. xo

Still nervous about the icord but admire it. You make it look so easy. 🙂

You are so awesome you make me feel I can knit anything!

[@cynthiamullin9568]

It is possible to carry all those colors along the side hidden inside the I cord. Just pull your next color from under all the others. Saves lots of effort and puffs out the I cord. You're welcome 😊
