In need of a tie for my yoga mat, I decided to knit an i-cord. So far, it’s working great.
CO 10, work 36”. Using double points, knit each row. Work dec rows as follows:
Row 1: k4, k2 tog, k4 (9 sts)
Rows 2, 4, 6: knit all sts
Row 3: k3, CDD, k3 (7 sts)
Row 5: k2, CDD, k2 (5 sts)
Row 7: k1, k2 tog, k1 (3 sts)
Row 8: knit all
Cut yarn leaving 6”. Using a tapestry needle, run the tail twice through the remaining sts & remove from needle.
Seam the CO edges together creating a straight edge. Sew in ends. Use tapestry needle to even up the sts at the back of the cord as needed.
