Hello, my friend. It always depends on the yarn you are using. This is how I approach it. I would measure the area length-wise where I want to attach the I-cord. Let's say a baby blanket. Take a measuring tape and measure from the beginning to the end of the I-cord. Using the yarn of your choice, make an I-cord swatch 4" long. Go ahead and weigh your swatch or unravel it and see how much yarn you were consuming. Assuming the finished I-cord should be 40", you would need ten times as much yarn as you used for your gauge swatch. Happy knitting!
I’m enjoying making the Gentleman’s Cardigan, Sascha. Great pattern and very helpful videos. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial. As a new knitter this was really easy to understand and follow.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful and easy description of the I-cord edging that you had presented..
Thank you for sharing this very informative video 😊
I love the way you knit your SSKs, it's so efficient. Mind blown!
i agree the SSk is very well taught and after reviewing 6 other icord tutorials this was by far the best...thankyou
Thankyou for your clear and concise demonstration of this technique. I never would have figured it out reading my pattern. 🙂
What happens when you get back to the start. How to join the start to the finish? Thank you heaps for this tutorial
Thank you very much, Sascha. I’ve been looking everywhere for just this technique!
Is there a formula on how much yarn you would need for an I-cord to attach & finish a project?
