Crochet i-cords are a great technique to add a decorative touch to your crochet projects. It is a quick and easy technique that can be used to create a cord-like embellishment that can be used for drawstrings, belts, straps, or any other decorative purpose. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to crochet an i-cord, right-handed version.
Materials:
- Yarn of your choice
- Appropriate crochet hook
- Scissors
Instructions:
Step 1: Make a slip knot and chain 3 stitches.
Step 2: Insert your hook into the second chain from the hook, and draw up a loop. Then insert your hook into the next chain and draw up a loop. You should have 3 loops on your hook.
Step 3: Yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on the hook.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3 until your i-cord is the desired length.
Step 5: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail that is about 3 times the length of your i-cord.
Step 6: Thread the tail onto a tapestry needle and draw it through the last loop on your hook.
Step 7: Pull the tail tight to close up the loop, and weave in any remaining ends.
And that's it! You have now successfully crocheted an i-cord. With this technique, you can create cords of any length and thickness, and experiment with different types of yarns and colors to achieve a unique look for your project.
