I-Cord Knitting Techniques
Unravelling the I-Cord
I-cord has long been a go-to technique for knitters needing long slender cords, but did you know that i-cord also makes a great bind-off? It’s a simple technique that creates a smooth, professional, finished edge that is perfect for small projects like handbags.

Judy’s Magic Cast-on
This clever cast-on is the basis for many useful methods including toe-up socks. Invented by knitting guru, Judy Becker, the Magic Cast-On creates a smooth, seamless toe that doesn’t require grafting. It makes an excellent foundation for any project that involves a smooth rounded bottom. And, it’s just plain fun to knit!
