This is a revelation for me, earlier I used much more difficult way of making I-cord and always avoided making it. Thanks a lot. Very helpful!

I'm attempting my first pattern. It's a bralette top with straps. I *panicked* when I read that she had crocheted the straps! I already have hooks but never tried them. I saw a note about i-cord crotchet for stronger thicker straps and I am beyond pleased to find out how simple they are to make. And I already have double pointed needles! I'm totally gonna practice this. I'm so glad to have found your video! ❤

Great! I'm a 13 year old female in high school and I am making a top for the first time but having been knitting since I was 6! This was so helpful thanks! xx

Thanks for the clear tutorial. It's also nice to see the finishing for the i cord as well.

I remember seeing patterns that mentioned I-cords but for some reason I always thought they seemed difficult.
This tutorial makes it all so easy to understand though, I'm sure I can make one now. 🙂
Thanks a lot for this video, it gave me an idea for a craft project right away! 😄

Thank you!
I bought a hand crank I cord maker. The yarn gets tangled, and I'm grateful to try this technique.

I'm glad you said you could make an I-cord with 6 sts, that encouraged me to close the crown of a baby hat with a little one and it came out great!

This was the best demo on making an icord I have ever viewed. Thanks much.

I don't think I would have tried this if I had not seen your video. You're a great teacher.

Most feared words for a beginner: "just do it as you normally would".
Thanks.

Well done with clear instructions and great camera angles. Thank you.

Fabulous tutorial. I've been trying I cord on the French knitter and use the cord for weaving, but it seems a very slow process. I don't knit very much, but I think I like this method. Thanks a bunch.💖🇦🇺

Hey Jennifer,
Thank you for such a nice tutorial on how to knit an I-Cord. I appreciate the three stitch technique. Exactly the one I need to finish a project. And it’s so neat to see someone else that knit without nail polish. :D And Thank you for the suggested uses.

I've been searching for a good icord tutorial to no avail until I found yours. It was exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!

[kittycatfluffy]

Thank you so much! I’m looking back at a pattern and couldn’t for the life of me remember how to do I-cord!

[saharhawasli]

Wow! Never thought how easy it is, thank you for sharing.

[kathleennece]

Thank you. I had forgotten how to make one. It’s been a long time.

When I was looking at knitting needles I saw that there were the double pointed ones and the (I think) standard looking needles... so eventually I'll probably want both kinds but think I can deal with just a standard set! Thank you for showing us how to do this!

[luchiatom]

Thank you very much for this. It's clear and easy to see what your doing and I was able to pick this up quickly! I'm planning on doing many long ones to hang from my windows to prevent the flies coming in so thanks ^.^
