How to knit i-cord

I-cord is one of the easiest knitting techniques, even the most beginner knitter can master it! In this easy to follow video tutorial, we will show you how to make a knitted cord, with step by step instructions that take you from cast on to knitting to cast off. I-cord is a good skill for every knitter and has a multitude of uses. It can be used as a drawstring, a decorative ribbon, closures for a sweater or a bag, or even jeweller on it's own!

The yarn used in this video is Jersey Be Good.

The pattern is from Knitting Me Softly.

Great video - I was really having trouble with the cable cast-on and this slowed it down enough for me to follow. The i-cord instruction was great as well, but I used DPN and found sliding my work back and forth much more efficient than slipping the stitches with straight needles.

Thank you so much for this! For some reason, the other tutorials I had watched were confusing to me. By demonstrating with the larger yarn, then transferring back to the original needle, that helped to clarify it for me!

Great video- just a note for a correction: You are wrapping the yarn counter or anti-clockwise. Clockwise would be down and to the right, but you are wrapping around the needle from the left. Cheers!

I love that you use large yarn and needles to make things easy to see :)

Can you do this with more stitches like 6 or does it have to be 4?

Πολύ καλό βίντεο αλλά χωρίς ήχο, χάνει την αξία του... :(

That is the weirdest casting on I've ever seen. And all the person had to do was slide the stitches to the other end of the needle to begin knitting again. Also, the knitting was so slow, I lost interest. Sorry.
