I just finished watching the pumpkin and I wanna say thank you soooooooooooooooo much for being so patient and going step by step AND for not using so much crochet jargon 😅 I’m very visual so when people use the big words and crochet terminology I’m like uhhhhh just show me and you did just that and much more!! Thank you again!
@@bellacococrochet Being more of a visual learner as well, I struggled with written patterns quite a bit, but I've been able complete 3 of these little pumpkins now and only started learning to crochet (from your channel also) a couple of months ago! So I just wanted to say thank you and that I also have a ton of appreciation for all of your wonderful video tutorials 🖤
ugh thank you for this!!!! Everytime she said "simply" I was like there is nothing simple about this lol. Simple pattern, impossible to "pinch the two loops"
You are a great teacher!! Thank you for the very slow and easy to follow tutorial. I watch hands closely and your videos are clear and close enough for me to to see how you hold the yarn. Thank you!
Both this and the pumpkin tutorial are brilliant and great to see it in English terminology Just completed one to go with my crocheted witch and will be making more!
This is awesome! I’ve only knit an icord on very small needles to go with a gift bag for my mother. I have to say it sits there half done because the process is positively painful! I’m sure on larger needles it is fine but not on small size needles. This is the perfect solution! Thank you Sarah-Jayne! Now I can finally finish the gift bag and send it to my wonderful mom! She’s going to be 92 early next year and she and my dad are still going strong. 70 years this coming June! She is a master quilter. Currently she does Bargello as well and has crocheted and knit over the years making all my kids and grandkids heirlooms! I am truly blessed and this wonderful cord has been driving me nuts! A perfect Sunday! Icord dilemma solved, 19 year old granddaughter hanging out with us and Poldark tonight! It doesn’t get any better than this!💕💕
I just finished my pumpkin it’s so adorable and one of my first projects since I’ve started crocheting. my son asked for a pumpkin and he loves it lol.
I LOVE HOW YOU MADE THAT STEM!!!!! So easy to do!!! you are brilliant! I had some brown yarn and some thin twine sitting on my desk. Make the stem with those 2 stands??? UNREAL!!!!
I have finally finished my pumpkin, he is a little bit wonky but I love it!!! Thank you for making such an easy to follow tutorial. I showed everyone in work today and now they want to make their own too, so I have told them to watch your channel! Would it be possible to do a tutorial on how to crochet a cute potato please?
I've struggled with this in the past. Ax I watched today I had a brainstorm; I can slip the loops onto a stitch holder. Then I don't need to worry about dropping them as much. I'm excited to ̌try this again.
This just dawned on me… i feel like it would be so easy to knit with a tunisian crochet hook and a knitting needle (as opposed to using two knitting needles)
By far the easiest tutorial for an I-cord! 💯 Don't really understand the fuss about this being hard to crochet and easy to knit. After releasing the loops just hold on to the two loops for a second when you're pulling through the first one and that locks everything in place. ❤ Best to try out with a thicker yarn on your first attempt, afterwards it's smooth sailing
Thank you for sharing this! Some days I have difficulty understanding a pattern, I have ADD and the words can sometimes jumble depending on my concentration ability. I tried to read a pattern to do this and just couldn’t focus. Thank you! I want to make a rope to put on a wall sign I bought that is damaged and I think this will hide it nicely and add to the decor as well.
I love your tutorials. They have taught me so much. But I learned to do ichords a different method. Watching this had me breaking out in a sweat. I do 30cm chords, using 2.5 or 3mm hook. This way will take far too long and age me 10 yrs about thos loose stitches.
the pattern I was following called for an I-cord but I think the instructions they provided on how to make it are incorrect... so thank you for this clear tutorial!!!
As nice as it would be to finally make this stitch look good with my crochet the old French knitting bobbins are great for cords, harder to count your rows if you walk away for too long though
Can you please do a tutorial on how to join the ends of the cord together? I've been searching and can't find any resources so could really use some help.
I have a question. If I would make the pumpkin in a bigger size, this stem would be to small. I can adjust the height, but bot sure how to make it more wide. Doe you have any suggestions on that?
Hi Bella, I just came across a video titled "How to crochet an icord with the easiest way". It blew my mind at how quick and smart it looks, only problem is the video has no voice, its blurry and to top it off it doesn't show the key element of how to hold/ position the yarn in order to complete the icord. In other words I can't figure it out. If its not violating any ethical rules, I wish you would take a look at it, as with your experience you should be able to figure out the enigma and you could share with us one more way to make an icord. Thanks.
I've just checked the video and it seems fine and has sound so maybe the issue is your end. I'm presuming you are referring to my tutorial :- ua-cam.com/video/o97aBEJ4Mto/v-deo.html :)
It can be tricky to learn anything new so don't give up - have a practise using quite thick yarn such as aran weight or above, and you should find it much easier to see the stitches and what you're doing 😊
When you fasten off the yarn leave a long tail and just use a darning needle to sew it onto the top of the pumpkin by looping it around a few times - you can knot the yarn to make it more secure if you want 🙂
If there is a long enough tail of yarn on each half of the I-cord then you could sew in through any loops and then attach it back together. If that doesn't work you could try making a new one using my tutorial 🙂
You would need to crochet through the ring so your stitches are worked around it - if you hold the ring behind your work, pass your hook through it to make your stitches. Hope this helps 😊
Hey...I just wanted to tell you guys that Jesus loves you so much. He let Himself die on the cross as punishment for OUR sins, so that we wouldn't have to do it ourselves. Then God rose Him up from the dead to symbolize that fact that we have received forgiveness for our sins and now have new life. You can tap into God's kindness and love, even right now, by believing in Jesus and what He's done for us all, and by turning your heart from sin, to the love of Christ :)

To not lose the loop i put them on a toothpick and now it feels like knitting. This is knit/chrocheting, isn't it? What an interesting combination.
ugh thank you for this!!!! Everytime she said "simply" I was like there is nothing simple about this lol. Simple pattern, impossible to "pinch the two loops"
Yes! Thank you! Great suggestion. 🎉
this actually works! I just use a wool needle lol. So much easier
This was a brilliant idea, thank you so much!
this is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever crocheted and i’ve been crocheting for 6 years now hahahaha. thanks for the tutorial!!
You're welcome :)
So hard. I want to 😢

Thank you so very much for your patience and being so articulate in the description of stitches.
You are very welcome :)
I am about to make a whole mess of pumpkins for halloween now!! Thank you so much for these easy to follow tutorials! 😍😁

Having knit and repaired dropped stitches so many times I can see you figured out how to knit with a crochet hook. Well done

I feel a stich marker could be really useful for this esp if you are working with thinner yarn.
Wait this was so much easier than I expected and so easy to follow
Thank you so much
You are very welcome :)
Thank you! I'm an absolute beginner and I'm currently doing your pumpkin project. I definitely will be using this for bags in the future!
You are very welcome :)
One of the best tutorials out there. And lucky I was working the exact same color you used in this tutorial. Thanks for sharing ❤
You're very welcome :)
Thanks to your videos i have learnt how to crochet and am making a display in our school out of crocheted pieces
You are welcome 😊

ichords are now the bain of my existence, great tutorial though, helped a lot
Thank you :)
This is awesome! Been looking for a way to make a cord for a necklace pendant. It’s a little thick even with my thinner yarn but still fits great
Glad it was helpful :)
Love this. Maybe it's better if we use knitting needle to secure the loops.

Great video. What size hook and what size yarn are you using for this video?
It's a bit tricky and it took me a while but after the 4th attempt it looked like your cord. LOL. Thanks for the tutorial!
You're very welcome 🙂
Your tutorials are always so great! 💓
Thank you so much :)
the pattern I was following called for an I-cord but I think the instructions they provided on how to make it are incorrect... so thank you for this clear tutorial!!!
i was making a shoulder strap and this is awesome!!
Glad it was helpful :)
@@bellacococrochet thank you so much for replying to all our comments it means so much 🥰
I just made it to use for the pumpkin. Thank you.
You are very welcome :)
As nice as it would be to finally make this stitch look good with my crochet the old French knitting bobbins are great for cords, harder to count your rows if you walk away for too long though
Thank you for sharing. ❤

I found out it helps to hold the dropped loops on a curved loom knitting needle.
Can you please do a tutorial on how to join the ends of the cord together? I've been searching and can't find any resources so could really use some help.
Kept losing my loops, have made it work by inserting a stitch marker but very slow going!
Great tutorial thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Do you have a tutorial for crocheting an i cord together for a continuous handle for a bag?
thank you so much!
You're welcome :)
Haha loved found your channel, thanks so much!
You're very welcome :)
I reckon you could put the two sts on a cable needle
Can i use this i cord for making wire names? Does it has a hole in the middle?
I have a question. If I would make the pumpkin in a bigger size, this stem would be to small. I can adjust the height, but bot sure how to make it more wide. Doe you have any suggestions on that?
I assume you could just use thicker yarn
Fantastic thank you ☺️
You’re welcome 😊
Great tutorial!!! Thank you
You are very welcome :)
Now im gonna make a bracelet out of this technique
This video mentioned a more robust cord for bag handles but I don’t see the link. Am I missing it? Could you share the link to that video? Thanks!
I'm sorry you couldn't' find the link, here it is :- ua-cam.com/video/XmwKcEQeftE/v-deo.html :)

Thank you :)
WOW that is hard for me to do....Practicing....TFS
Thank you so much 😊
You're welcome 😊
Is it meant to look the same the whole way round the cord? I can get three neat-ish sides and the back is like a baggy big stitch
This is an amazing tutorial!! Thank you so much!! I was also curious where you got your ring on your right hand? So pretty!!!
You are very welcome, I have two rings on and they are from Pandora :)
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Adorable!
What kind of knitting yarn is this? Because I have one but it's not like that
hi! if i've run out of yarn halfway through, is there a way i can attach new yarn to continue the project?
It may be quite fiddly to do, but you can attach new yarn by pulling through the new ball and just letting the old one drop 😊
Why can't I do this 😭 everyone in the comments saying it's so easy and I'm over here about to throw everything in the bin 😅 x
It can be tricky to learn anything new so don't give up - have a practise using quite thick yarn such as aran weight or above, and you should find it much easier to see the stitches and what you're doing 😊
@@bellacococrochet I'll try using a thicker yarn and see if it helps figure it out. Thank you 😊
Is this supposed to be flat or rounded? Mine does not look rounded. I have undone it and redone it several times.
It’s supposed to be rounded like a cord; I would try using a smaller hook size maybe as your tension could be too loose 😊
@@bellacococrochet thank you. I am using a 3mm hook. It maybe my slack is too loose. I will try again.
How did you attach it to the pumpkin? I’m new at this. 🤷🏻♀️
When you fasten off the yarn leave a long tail and just use a darning needle to sew it onto the top of the pumpkin by looping it around a few times - you can knot the yarn to make it more secure if you want 🙂
Where is the link for the “robust” version? There are a lot of links in your description, but I can’t tell which one you were referring to.
Oh sorry about that! Here you go ua-cam.com/video/XmwKcEQeftE/v-deo.html
Could I use a cable needle to hold my stitches instead of just holding them?
Yes of course, or you could slip them onto a stitch marker 🙂
Hi 👋 love this
The tutorial is as wonderful as always, but this is one technique where I'll be sticking to knitting needles.
Thank you :)
I found this not easy to do! I loved your pumpkin tutorial but this this is not so simple!
Same! I'm struggling so much with this
Hi my handle broke on my small bag . I might try this . Need the bag for my phone
Lovely
Thank you :)
I have an I-cord that was cut in half on a shawl. Anyone know if it's fixable? I've never tried to crochet 😅 but I will for this!
If there is a long enough tail of yarn on each half of the I-cord then you could sew in through any loops and then attach it back together. If that doesn't work you could try making a new one using my tutorial 🙂
Omg I couldn’t crochet the I cord so I single crochet into 9 and slip stiched along
Thankyou
You are welcome :)
How would I attach it to rings at the side of my bag please . Cause handle broke
You would need to crochet through the ring so your stitches are worked around it - if you hold the ring behind your work, pass your hook through it to make your stitches. Hope this helps 😊
I’m first. I love you so much
What size is the hook?
It's a 5mm :)
Thank you for sharing, here is the idea of crochet in a quick and easy trick , go through the channel and find the same,
Tried so many times to do the I cord, just cannot grasp it at all 🙁
I will stick with my four nails in the top of a spool. Spool knitting. Much quicker and easier.
It's easier to use knitting needles for this than crochet it
Totally depends on the yarn! I tried knitting with one type of yarn and it was awful! Crochet was so much easier!
Frankly, I can't wrap my head around this technique. Its a brain thing, I guess...
Hi can you let me know what you are struggling with so that I can see if I can help you further :)
Hmm, this is like knitting with a crochet hook.
This just didn't work for me, but looks like a fantastic tutorial otherwise!
Sorry to hear it didn't work for you :)
I made a ugly pumpkin but ty
NO I GOT YARN BARF
