Thanks for an excellent tutorial. What I find simpler is to use a short double-pointed needle on the right side for my working needle. Then after working each set of four I-cord stitches, I can simply slide them back to the other end of the DPN and start knitting the next four. This prevents having to move them back to the left needle every time.
Donna, You are such a Doll to explain that Corner Detail, I totally understand it now and appreciate the the difference it makes in the finished product- and there's definitely a great difference! Thanks again for all You Share and Teach! Happy Knitting! XX Marie-Wisconsin
Thanks so much for the I-cord border tutorial! Is much more clear and comprehensible when shown in a tutorial. It will definitely come handy for a nice border finish! Really appreciate you making tutorials to better explain knitting procedures that might not otherwise be so easy to grasp. I understand and knitted I-cords but not as a blanket border. Keep up the wonderful work!
Thank you! A picture is worth a thousand words for sure. I knew as I started to explain how I did it on my podcast that it wasn’t going to work. Thanks so much for watching! 🐑
Hi, Donna. In all of my knitting, I have never made an I-Cord so I found this demo very helpful. I had no idea how time-consuming it was to knit an I-Cord but it certainly looks fabulous. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this very detailed video.
flourchylde49 Thank you! It is time-consuming, but I find it quite meditative, too. You really get into a rhythm. (Goes a bit faster with a metal dpn in the right hand.)
@@inapickleknitting1694 I Agree Donna, I've done I Cord Bind-Offs on some Shawls and You do get into a nice rhythm when doing it, but I'd never thought of that bit of a simple unconnected stitch that really makes a nice non pulling smooth corner transition! It's Perfect! Again, Thank You!
Thank you Donna that was very helpful! I can’t wait to finish my blanket now to do the beautiful I cord edge! I wish I could pick up my stitches so nicely, you are such a perfectionist ! Thank you again!!!
What a great tutorial Donna thank you so much. I'm nowhere near finishing mine yet but will definitely use this method when the time comes. You've made a beautiful blanket 🌟🌟🌟
I just found your channel and I love your videos! I will be trying to see the draw string bag soon. I live in Front Royal VA and my husband works were you are. Your videos are so informative thanks for making them!!!
QUILTINGCHAP I think you have to pick all of the stitches up first. Perhaps there is a way to do it otherwise, but I don’t know how it would be done. The cord I used was 50” long. I was able to get all my stitches on that cord with room to have picked up more. With my Chaigoo cables I can connect two cords, so could have done that if needed. It’s not the easiest thing to manage at the beginning, but with the blanket all piled in my lap wasn’t too bad. Hope that helps. 🌷
@@inapickleknitting1694 Thank you so much! My blanket is a smaller than yours so I should be fine with my 60" cable. I was worried I would have to join about 4 cables together!
Carla Jewett I used a free pattern on Ravelry from Kemper Wray, The Coziest Memory. The line is created from a pair of decreases (k2tog and ssk) on each right side row.
This is so helpful!! I have a question for you. I did an icird bind off on a sweater recently, but I'm wondering if this method would lay better in that case. What do you think? Would it be better to cast off, on say, a sweater cuff or hem normally, and then pick up stitches and attach an icord?
Christy Campbell I am not sure at all if one way is better than the other. Are you unhappy with the finishing on your sweater? It seems this way would be quite a bit of extra work with having to bind off first on your sweater. In the case of the blanket there isn’t really a choice on it. Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you.
ツ thank you for the beautiful tutorial Please please ❥ please can you show us how to add an i-cord to a neck or round for left handed people ❥ Please 🙏🏻
Your picking up of the working yarn looks clumsy. I put the working yarn over the point using my right hand as my left hand holds the work firmly. This may help other watchers

That's beautiful work, and I love those 2 colors together.
Thank you. This is a great help for those corners. Mine use to always curl.

Marie Hahn So happy it helped explain the corner better. 🐑
That loose I cord stitch is an excellent tip. Thank you for this tutorial.

Thanks so much, Donna! That's such a nice finishing touch. Patty
Thank you Donna, it looks so nice and yes, you do a great job of explaining and showing us in the video. I love your blanket!!
Thank you for this, I’m a long way off finishing my blanket but I shall definitely come back to this tutorial when I’m ready to add an edging.
Jo jo-throughthekeyhole So happy to hear you are going to give it a try.
Thank you Donna. This is a very helpful tutorial. Your blanket is lovely.

Christy Tschappat Thanks so much for watching! What a small world 🌎 we have and the internet has made it even smaller!
Thank you for doing this video. I was wondering what I was going to do to finish the edge of my Cozy Memories.
Great tutorial! Such a nice edging on your blanket!
Thank you so much for that cleary expained instruction.
Awesome Donna! So helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for doing this! It has answered many questions for me!
I’m so glad! 🐑
Thank you, great job your blanket looks great well done!
Thank you so very much for your tutorial. Could you please tell me where you found a cord long enough to go around an entire blanket? Many thanks!!!!
GarysOnlyGal *** I was using yarn from the ball to knit it onto the blanket as I went around the edges.
Wonderful tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you or the tutorial. It is a very nice edge.
Thanks Donna! That was great!
Is there a formula on how much yarn would be needed for an I-cord border on any given project?
Thank you for sharing
Great tutorial. Thank you! So do you need a cord that is as long as your blanket is all the way around? Or can you do part at a time?
QUILTINGCHAP I think you have to pick all of the stitches up first. Perhaps there is a way to do it otherwise, but I don’t know how it would be done. The cord I used was 50” long. I was able to get all my stitches on that cord with room to have picked up more. With my Chaigoo cables I can connect two cords, so could have done that if needed.

QUILTINGCHAP Well, that would have been tricky so I’m glad you don’t have to do that!
Thx for the extra row tip. Can you tell me which CDD you used in the blanket? It’s beautiful on garter stitch.

The Tangled Cat My pleasure!
Thank you Donna for the great tutorial. Love the blanket, is it difficult to stitch all those blocks together or do you do them as you go??
Judy Krueger You pick up stitches from either one or two blocks as you go. Really easy! 🐑
ツ thank you for the beautiful tutorial
Please please ❥ please can you show us how to add an i-cord to a neck or round for left handed people

Why do you knit hr back on the last stitch?
I’m don’t quite understand the question. What does hr mean?
