Description

Comments (18)

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit an i-cord back and forth on the needle. An i-cord is a knitted tube. Often used for the handles on a bag or cords to tie on a hat, jacket or hood. We have another video showing how to make a small i-cord knitting from RS only, but with this one we show you how you how to make a larger one. You can cast on 4, 6, 8 sts or more, but it has to be an even number. Knit every row back and forth like this: *K1, put thread in front of piece, slip 1 st as if to purl, put thread behind piece*, repeat from *-* on all rows. This creates a round string. When long enough knit sts tog 2 by 2 at the same time as binding off. You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where this technique is used by clicking on the pictures below.

Dzień dobry, czy jest możliwość poszerzenia (dodać oczka) oraz zwężenia robótki? Pozdrawiam

DROPS Design :

Witaj Anno, oczywiście można tasiemkę I-cord poszerzyć, wystarczy nabrać większą liczbę oczek. Należy pamiętać, aby liczba oczek była parzysta. Pozdrawiamy!

Comment faire un cordon avec 2 couleurs en aller-retour avec aiguilles doubles pointes ? Merci pour votre aide J'ai réussi avec une couleur.

DROPS Design :

Bonjour Mme Martin, nous n'avons pas encore réalisé de cordon en I bicolore, mais je suppose que vous pouvez le faire de la même façon, pensez à bien placer vos fils pour qu'ils soient cachés à l'intérieur du cordon lors des changements. Bon tricot!

Why handle each stitch twice? Why not purl the purl stitches, rather than slip them? This method is essentially 2 sided knitting yes?

DROPS Design :

Hi Deb, if you P the P sts it will not be a tube, it will become a flat ribbon.
