Thank you for stopping by my podcast! I hope you enjoy the episode!
This video is a comprehensive overview of how I apply an icord to my knitted pieces in order to hide my ends - and make the knits look polished and pretty!
To follow along with this tutorial, you will need the following materials:
- a knitted swatch
- two circular needles - one in the same size in which you knitted your swatch, the other one size smaller. For example, I knit my swatch in a US6 so I had that and a US5. (Any length of cord is fine. I used 24" circulars.)
- two pieces of waste yarn - one ~20" long for the provisional cast on, the other the same distance as the perimeter of your swatch x 1.5. (e.g. if the perimeter of your swatch is 40", then you'll need about 60" to pick up stitches)
- a darning needle
- a crochet hook about the same diameter as your knitting needles. For example, I used an F hook for my provisional cast on.)
- scissors
I cover many techniques in this tutorial, including:
- picking up stitches along the bind off, cast on and selvage edges
- provisional cast on
- applied i-cord in one color
- applied i-cord in two colors
- working corner with an i-cord
- kitchener stitch
I moved at a pace that I hope will be useful for as many people as possible. If you get the gist quickly, here are timestamps at the different "chapters" so you can move ahead.
8:25 - getting started at the bound off edge
11:32 - provisionally casting on
15:28 - applying the icord in one color
20:54 - applying the i-cord to the selvage edge with two colors
28:50 - applying the i-cord to the cast on edge
34:40 - unpicking your provisional cast on
38:00 - closing your i-cord with the kitchener stitch
41:00 - weaving in your ends into your i-cord "tube"

Thank you for the video! I added the applied icord to the persimmon flower swatch I made in class today. 😃
Hooray! I'm so glad you found it useful! Isn't it magical to just tuck those ends right up into the tube?
Thank you so much excellent demonstration. Very helpful

Thank you so much such a wonderful demonstration of i-cod!!
You're very welcome! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Excellent tutorial Carolyn. I have been adding i-cords edges on most of my projects, even when not written in the pattern as it always leaves a professional edge. With that said, I still learned a few things from your excellent demonstration and explanations. I look forward to more of your tutorials.
Thank you so much Stephanie! I really appreciate it!
Excellent tutorial! Such lovely work!
Glad you like it! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
I have to watch it maybe twice more l would like to try it. Thank you.
J'aime trop. Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤
Amazing tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this excellent tutorial! Can I do an applied i-cord to the edge of a shawl (next to the neck) where I have use a KFB on every other row of knitting? In other words, can the applied i-cord be knitted onto an edge with increased rows? Would it looked odd on just one side of the triangle or should I apply the i-cord to all 3 edges? Many thanks and Greetings from Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day!
A great tutorial Carolyn - really clear and unhurried - thank you! Just one thing though... the back of the work is untidy with ridges up against the i-cord, meaning that the piece is not truly useable on both sides. Is there a solution for this?
Hi Tina - I do know what you mean, but I've never been too troubled by it. I don't have a trick up my sleeve currently, but just talking out loud... I wonder how it would look if you whip stitched that flap to the icord? Maybe that would tuck it in? Or perhaps add a decorative flair to make it look intentional?
@@bloomhandmadestudio thanks so much for taking the time to reply - I guess I thought that maybe I was doing it wrong - I'll keep looking for a fix to make my sample piece (which I made during your class with Tribe Yarns last month) truly double-sided - it's the perfect size for my evening night-time tea in front of the TV and I'd love to be able to use both sides - depending on my mood at the time.
@@TinaSIrving Hi again - I just learned how to work a crocheted applied i-cord and uploaded a video showing how to do it. IMHO, it is rather fiddly, BUT the result is smooth on both sides! If you like, take a peek at that and see if its more in keeping with what you're looking for! xo
@@bloomhandmadestudio Oh Wow! I can't believe that you did that - thanks so much - I'll go and take a look - sounds like a perfect solution :D xx
