Technique - I-cord Bind off

The I-cord bind-off creates a corded edge. It is typically created using 3 cast-on stitches but can be more or less to give a thicker or thinner cord.

Technique:

  1. Cast-on 3 stitches using the cable method
  2. Knit the first two stitches then slip then knit two together through the back loop = 3 stitches on the right needle
  3. Slip the 3 stitches on the right needle back onto the left needle and then repeat step 2 to the end
  4. Knit last two stitches together and weave in the end
