I am so thrilled with this technique. I’ve made this baby blanket a number of times. There are both garter stitch and stockinette rows. I usually add a selvedge as I knit but forgot to do that this time. I LOVE the look of the all around I cord!
Thank you...your methodical approach to various knitting topics has enhanced my practice. I swatch alot more instead of just looking at what's on CZcams or Google. Swatching is one of the best strategies for developing knitting skills and if you make the swatch a bit bigger than the traditional 4"x4" square you make a doubly useful item such as a dish cloth, hot pad, or even a doll blanket. YOU ROCK! ☺
I don't see your 'view' number go up when I check this instruction again (and again ...). I like to do an i-cord edge around blankets and I have to review the kitchner directions any time I use that method as a finish. I recommend your instructions and discussions to other knitters. You are among the best on CZcams. Thank you for the time spent in preparing and presenting your videos.👏
Thanks for this, Roxanne! You always make it so I feel like I can tackle any new technique with ease. Although, there's that swatch suggestion, which I have very rarely done in my decades of knitting experience. Maybe it's time to teach this old dog some new tricks!
Thank you Roxanne, this is a very nice technique, easy to understand and it produces a lovely effet. I finished knitting my Palm Tulp Mitts, in bright yellow which really gives the pattern a good visibility, I get loads of compliments for them and I want to thank you again for that lovely pattern. It was pure pleasure to knit. I put the pictures on Ravelery. I would really appreciate information on blocking techniques, cold, warm or hot water, does it vary with the type of yarn used, if you agree to tell us that. There seems to be a lot of contradiction on the subject and I value your expertise very much.
I’d be interested in seeing how you work out icord on stockinette .. I followed your previous tutorial for garter, on stocking stitch making adjustments for stitch length ie pick up 3 miss one, so not to pucker the fabric.. I watched a technique how to eliminate that “blip” from the front bending visible using a *knit 3, YO, K1 from project, psso* .. it does an excellent job hiding the blip completely and slightly fuller edge. Wondering if you have heard, seen this method? Love your tutorials 🎉 thanks 😊
What sort of stockinette scenario are you thinking of? I typically use i-cord at the edge of a flat piece, which is why I demonstrated it with garter stitch. Stockinette will roll at the edges, so I'm either knitting it in the round (so no side edges) or flat with seams, and any top/bottom edges will have some sort of non-rolling border, like ribbing, garter, or seed stitch. I-cord won't usually be enough to prevent rolling. I did use it one time along the vertical stockinette edges of a cardigan, that was meant to have a zipper. I didn't install a zipper, so I had to control the rolling with grosgrain ribbon sewn to the WS. In that case, think I PU at a 3:4 ratio. Some of that will depend on the size of the needle you use for the i-cord vs the size you used for the stockinette.
Roxanne, I am finishing the Butterfly/Papilon shawl which is basically a garter stitch triangular shawl with lots of short rows. I bound off the live stitches with the I-cord bindoff and I looks fabulous. I have turned the corner successfully and am picking up the purl bumps to do an applied I-cord edge. The applied I-cord edge seems too tight . Any suggestions on how to compensate for this? Thanks.
I am working a sweater in size 10mm needles this is JUST what I needed. I am using a bulky wool would you the same needles? The pattern states 2 stitch i cord, I am using the free Soho Purl Classic Jacket pattern. I love watching you! Your videos are very clear. Thank you
I use the same size needle for the icord border, or even a size larger, if I'm tempted to tighten too much. I would suggest trying it with the needles you've been using, and if you find it's pulling the fabric in too much or ending up too floppy, adjust your tension or change needle sizes.

@@RoxanneRichardson Thank you Enjoy your coffee!
Hi Rox, at 2.52 you edit and I can't make out if you turned the work or not. Do you turn the work? Thank you in advance for a reply.
