If you need to add some sturdiness to a clothing strap, tote handle or just need something more rope-like, the i-cord may be just what you need! Stitched up to look like a series of chains, its easy to do with just a bit of practice! Join we as we make one stitch by stitch!

Thank you for this tutorial. Getting ready to fly internationally and I've only knitted I-cords using DPN's. I knew that 6" DPN's weren't going to be allowed in my carry on, so was packing them in my checked bag.... now I can just use my crochet hooks and have something I can work on during my 14-hour flight.
It looks like it should be harder than this! Thank you for helping us learn!!
I've been crocheting for 57 years and have never seen an I-cord, that I know of! Just started crocheting amagarumi toys for babies in my family. Didnt know what to use for around their neck, that looked cute. I've seen videos on these but didn't have a need for them. So I just watched 5 videos on I-cords and yours is easiest to follow. I'm going to try it and see if it will work for what I need. Its kinda crazy how you crochet it but I can see it looks like knitting. Very cute. Thank you for the great video with clear instructions.

Thanks! I crocheted my first i-cord from written instructions (no pictures or illustrations) about a month ago ... ripped it apart several times over 3 days. Visual aids definitely needed the first time around!
I agree! It definitely took a little practice for me at first too!
Oh wow! I just made a small bag and wanted just the right strap, this is perfect, thanks so much 💗
Yay!!
I am doing a WestKnits shawl and someone suggested crocheting the i-cords instead of knitting them, as someone who does both crafts I loved the idea. Thank you so much for this great tutorial to add to my toolbox!
I found that using a DPN in a size close to the hook to hold the two stitches when you take them off to be super helpful, especially if you're making a thick cord holding a few strands of yarn together.
I love the I-cord. I’m trying out this tutorial for my 4th of July reading glasses strap. I discovered that if I put a stitch mark on the loop farthest from hook it won’t get away from me. It eliminates of having to start all over again 😃.
Of all the i-cords videos I watched, I found your method of pinching the 2 loops with your fingernails the easiest. I was getting so frustrated that I was shopping for a machine that makes them. Thank you very much for this video.
Thank you SO much!! Been trying to do this for WEEKS, but all the other tutorials were super confusing!
Thank you so much for showing this I was trying to remember how to crochet an i-cord the other day and I just couldn't remember for the life of me. I'm much more familiar with knitted I chords. So thank you I'll put this on my saved tips list.
I mostly crochet. But I found it easier to knit one, (go figure). But I just crocheted one with you! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thanks this is definitely so much easier than I cord I was so confused but this was a straight forward tutorial and fast loved it 😊
No I have never made one. I saw some bags with handles made of I -cord and always wanted to learn how to make it. Thank you for the lesson. Many blessings!
Thank you for making such a clear video :) I have made a crochet i cord before but I did not really understand what was going on and it was really terrible- now I know that I actually know how to do it and can add it to my tool kit
So handy for many things. I learned to make it, but didn't get back to it for a while. Thanks.
This will be my first crocheted I-Cord. Very simple. Thanks for great instructions and video!!
Your tutorials are super awesome! Youve taken me from only doing horrible stuff out of just the slip stitch, to just having finished a thing out of the treble stitch, that ACTUALLY has straight edges, and having a favorite stitch! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for sharing. I needed a refresher. My friend needs a cord for his pj bottoms.
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation. Very much easy to follow. Made one and it looks awesome.
Omg thank you. I’ve just bought yarn to make tiebacks for my caravan curtains perfect to use and add a tassel to finish ❤
Nice and slow. Good choice of yarn and hook colours, nice and clear
I think it's fun to use the little I cord makers with the crank. But, you can't use all thicknesses of yarn with those, so this is good to know how to do. I'll use this when finishing off a potholder. Thank you!
Thanks so much! Your video is the 3rd I have watched this morning and you explained it so well I finally made a cord!! Thanks again!💕
At first it is hard but after a little while it got easier. Thanks so much!!!
This is so awesome, I have never seen an I*cord (well, I have probably seen them and not known what it was) and I found it by accident looking for another pattern. Can't wait to use this for all sorts of things. Thank you for the simple and clear video.
Great idea, I dropped a special cup and need a new handle..voila! !! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks. I am thinking of crocheting toddler mittens for my grandson and would like to attach each to I-cord ends. Thread each mitten down a jacket sleeve with the I-cord extending from one mitten, around the inside back of the jacket, down the sleeve to the other mitten. No more lost mittens!
Thanks for sharing this I always wanted to know how to crochet a I cord
Thanks for sharing, it was nicely explained.
Definitely will come in handy. Thanks for this tutorial.
Thank you for the excellent and easy-to-follow tutorial, Jennifer! Have a wonderful, safe, crafty, and blessed week!
Thank you so very much I have been trying and trying to make I cord nothing help who knew you can do this . I know I didn't and I'm 41 lol 😂😂😂 I know how to do it now thank you so much for making this video
I'm so glad it helped!!
nice idea for a necklace with a tshirt yarn. thanks Jennifer.
Thank you so much, it’s better than crocheting a chain for a strap!
Im gonna try this... For a crochet tag that I've made 😊thank u so much
This is wonderful and so well explained ❤ thank you so much
Great video, thank you for sharing and explaining slowly.🙋🏻♀️🌺
😊thank you very much. It's very easy to learn. Thanks again
I love doing this - so much fun and comes in handy!
This was the perfect tutorial! Thank you very much! :)
Love this tutorial! Now I have to figure out ways to use an icord. LOL
This is such an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thank you, I learnt something new today❤️
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!
This is really AWESOME. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you. I need to make a few long strings for my renaissance outfit and finger loop braiding doesn't work well for long cords
Very easy to follow! Thanks 💛
I use a cable needle (usually used in knitting) to put my loops on so I don't accidentally loose them.
Sorry I missed you. You sound much better. 😉 I'm definitely going to try this. It looks like your yarn has a bit of a stretch, is it easier learning this with a yarn that has more give?
Thank you, I was gonna purchase an icord maker but now I dont have too.
Best I cord tut
This is so awesome✨✨
Very helpful
Hi thank you just what i needed it
If you add more chains at the beginning does it effect the width of the i-cord?
Great question, will definitely try and see!
Thank you for sharing!!✌️🙏 New sub
I always wondered how to do this.
Really cool!
I learned making a crochet i-cord by slipping the 2 sts onto a spare dpn knitting needle so you don't drop them.
Love it just made it thanks
Beautiful.Aprendi fácil.Interessante.Brasil.
omg i love you this is beautiful
Thanks a lot
Very cool! Thank you
Very nice
Thank you
I’ve done both knitted and crochet I Cords. I don’t see why anyone would bother with the crochet one when knitting one is so much easier!
I find it easier to knit it lol I couldnt do this,I need more practice☺️
OK, what if.. We try to do it with double sided needle? Then maybe we don't have to do that slip of thing.. what do you think?
What brand of hook is this. It looks really easy to use
Could you please let me know what yarn and size hook you are using in this video. Thank you..
Thnak you for yr video - hv a question: found a pattern for a "worry flower" but it uses an i-cord which I hv never done but all the videos I see start with 3 chains - in the pattern it states to make a 6-chain i-cord how wud u go about making that??? Wud u be able to help me out with that - many tks for yr help. Will try yr 3-chain for practice. Many tks.
I dunno if anyone else has asked this. Can you do this in 2 or more colors?
I’m making a tote and would like to make it longer and attach to bag. Any advice?
Can we use I cord instead of Foundation Single Crochet for sweater?
Pleaseeee what is the name of this yarn and where can I buy it, I ve been looking for this type of yarn for months!?
Is this the same as what you get with a French knitting bee?
Loved you so good
Waooo,thanks
Cant wait to try this!!!!
Can you use it for a braklet?
hello what kind of yarn did you use to this?
What type of yarn is this?

Lordy what a nightmare if you got splity yarn. Need yarn like what she’s using.
Much quicker than those knitting dolly contraptions
Fiber Flux

You sound like your from New Jersey or something.... you just kind of have that accent
And I'm sure everyone knows why it's called an icord !?!?!?

Thank you!
