For the second hook, we are actually going to take the yarn up and around so that it does NOT catch in that hook. I’m just going to use my tapestry needle to help me because it’s really small.An i-cord is basically a very small tube knit in the round. But because it is so small you can get away with knitting it on straight needles instead of the usual four or five double-pointed needles or circular needles. It’s much faster and a lot less complicated. Our I-Cords are so pretty, they totally look so professional and uniform. They are smaller both because we’re using finer yarn and with just the four little hooks and it is a tighter weave than we usually knit just freehand with our knitting needles.
