Exceptional Edges: I-Cord All Around

A virtual class with Amy Snell

Jan 14, 10:00am-12:00pm CST

I-Cord makes a tidy and beautiful edging for shawls, scarves, and more. Learn how to cast on and bind off an integrated I-cord edging and also how to knit I-cord selvedges onto the sides of your project as you go.

You’ll learn how integrated I-cord makes your life easier when it comes to striping colors and weaving in ends.

We’ll start with a clever, provisional cast-on that becomes an I-cord cast-on, then cover a simple trick that prevents that first knitted row from becoming too large. You’ll see how to pick up the provisional stitches and turn them into a perfectly integrated I-cord edge. Amy will also show how to knit I-cord selvages as you go, how to turn I-cord corners, and how to bind off and join with a seamlessly integrated I-cord.

Special skills or knowledge needed to take this class:
Students should be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, work in the round, and slip stitches.
