Special Techniques
I-cord = Step 1: Place remaining
stitches on one needle, with yarn
behind work on the left side; Step
2: Knit all sts to end. Do not turn
work. Slide sts to opposite end of
needle. Repeat Step 2 until cord
is the desired length.
Blocking = I suggest steam
blocking. Gently press “bumps”
while steaming, do not stretch, it
will reduce the texture and
stretchability.
