[Nfb-krafters-korner] Loom knit I cord

[Cathy]

Hi Henrietta,

I'm not Tanya, but I have made I-cord using my clover wonder knitter and
these are the instructions I used to do it.  I-cord can also be done on
other loom types, you do not need a wonder knitter, just three pegs.


ICord instructions

Pegs 1-3 numbered right to left

Place slip knot on peg 1 and eWrap pegs 1-3.

Bring yarn around the inside of the loom behind pegs 3-1 and around the
front of peg 1 on the right side.


Lay yarn over the front of all three pegs in order to knit them using the
flat knit stitch.  You'll knit off peg 2 then peg 1 then peg three.

Wrap the yarn around behind the pegs again and repeat to desired length.


I know it seems very strange at first with all those loose strands in back,
but once you have several rows done you'll be able to pull down on the
starting tail and it will tighten and pull in those strands...trust me - I
know it's weird.  The first time I did this I thought there was no way I was
doing it right.  You'll need to keep pulling down as you go to lock those
stitches in.

Cathy

Hi Tanya,

for the loom I cord. but maybe on list. Probably more people would like it
