Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit!

I add yarn overs between the icord stitches as I knit and drop them as I slip the three stitches. This adds a bit more stretch and looks very consistent. It’s fun to see so there are so many methods to achieve the same results.

What a good tip! 😍

[@RomiW]

Awesome! Thanks🧶😊

[@wendyellis6402]

What a clever idea 😃

[@knitthestars6800]

Of course this comes out a week after I finish my dotted rays! 😂 Guess I have to cast on another!

[@janetlasher]

YES YES... Love I-cord everywhere I add it to most every shawl I do....... I also add a row when having to turn corners... makes the corners block beautifully
I also use a 2x larger needle when doing an add-on I-cord and sometimes 3 extra rows- spaced when turning corners...

West is the Best👏👏👍🇨🇱 Thanks a lot.

[@paulettenarkon9312]

Love that tip on I-cord edges! Thank you! And as always I love your shawls .. ❤️

[@StephenWest]

Thanks so much!

[@pattigolden1]

I do that!!!!
Love it!!!
I do it about every 4th row...
Just learned an i-cord cast on where you do a yarnover....game changer & easier to count!!!
Slip 3, yarnover, knit 3, repeat as recommended...

[@cindyg.8425]

Love the “spandex” line. Am in the middle of Ddotted Rays and so loving the knit. Thank you for the video and for learning something new.

Your such a great teacher Mr. West & I love your enthusiasm it’s so genuine and pair all that with your bubbly personality. It’s no wonder why your called Mr. West , I love you ! I can’t wait to order one or two of your books and use the stretchier I-Cord cast on. I’m going to try your bone yard shawl and just go completely organic & wild with random colors. Thanks for loving what you do!

[@Isabellastoca]

Liked, subscribed, saved, and bookmarked. So glad I found this because my first I-cord was taking all the fun out of my first shawl. Your tutorials are THE BEST - thank you!

[@atrinka1]

Genius! Simple but elegant solution! Thanks, Stephen!

[@mirabrauckhoff1841]

[@IlseKnits]

So easy and so effective. Love it!

[@britdowson8324]

Thankyou for all your helpful tips. Most appreciated

[@lindajeanhouse3795]

Thank you! You have the most useful tips ever. This will help I'm positive.

[@pamelafrydman4429]

Brilliant!

[@gailterry3134]

Thank you so much!! I'm a tight knitter, so this technique is going to make such a difference in my knitting.

[@vectra9880]

👍🏽 excellent tip. I haven't tried i-cords and I definitely will keep this trick in my arsenal of techniques

[@judylee3589]

Thank you for sharing this information. Can't wait to try it!!!

[@susanvanvleck3957]

I bought your Painting Chevrons pattern for two reasons. I've, I love chevrons. Two, after watching another i-cord video you did I became fascinated with i-cord edges. Painting Chevrons gives me both! I'm also doing and applied i-cord border in a coordinating color on a baby blanket that I'm working on. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@claudiadu57]

..thank you so much for sharing your talents❤️❤️

[@mccluretranslation]

Omg such a game changer!! Thank you!!

[@cakecitron01]

Toujours de bonnes idées... merci ! 😃

[@yuriyoung5673]

I used to knit icord pretty tight and hated I cord. I finally figured out to not snug up my stitches at all and it was much better. But your giving a little EXTRA to each stitch seems even better. I'll try that next time. Thanks!

[@krislind7094]

You are a master. Your outside the box thinking is so beautiful. I wish I had even a little bit of your abilities to design. By the way, I'm one of your fellow guy knitters. I just bought your classic designs pdf book. Looking forward to trying side of them, even though we don't get to wear them much in Phoenix, AZ, where it's over 100° a lot, lol. Thanks for being you👍😃

[@marysevb]

Wow that’s a game changer🤯😁

[@freshwindbrightsky]

Thank you so much, you are always so helpful!!!

[@gunvoreriksson7882]

[@michellebabin7582]

[@sunnyw4148]

I do need to knit a dotted rays. Thanks for the tips too.

[@redredwine1277]

Thanks for sharing, very helpful info 🌸❤️🌹

[@tsoonklah]

THANK YOU!!! LoL other videos i saw didn’t show how to form the stitches from the i-cord method-thing lol as you can probably tell i’ve never done an i-cord tab cast on method for knitting a shawl.

[@evelynburt2024]

Thanks for the helpful tips.

[@intaeversone7073]

I always wander - what a strange knitting stile, now I know - its English 😅 Thank you for your tips 👌👍🧶

[@agnesadyana7344]

Love the tip of I corp tecnik... Will try it , thank you.🙏👌

[@anitajohannadrost]

Prima tip. 👍😁👋 dank je wel.

[@lierman60]

Génial 👍 merci beaucoup

[@itoshigoto]

I should use the boost technique for one of the edges of my botanic shawl🧐 thanks for the tutorial!

[@goswamigeeta]

A brilliant tip. Thank you.

[@StephenWest]

Very welcome!

[@margiekieper75]

That’s what I’ve always done and not just for i-cord edges. I’ve always needed to do this on the top of crescent shawls, and some other shapes as well, any time that I’m not satisfied with the tension of the edge.

[@barbarapregger8526]

Stephen that was very helpful. I am more a loose knitter but still I would like more stretch to the i-icord edge.

[@heidideclercq7881]

Genius!

[@dinapabon2307]

Thank you

[@jillschroeder3160]

@@StephenWest one of my favorite things about you is your commitment to “practicality”. The “don’t frog just to find a one stitch mistake”, “don’t panic”, and tips like this. Thanks!

Thanks Esteban Del Oeste. Kiss

Thanks for watching Winelvi!!

[@cynthiajohnson1124]

This is super cool I needed that before I did my temperance shawl. Will this also work with a to stitch I cord edge?

[@fenysnake]

Hi! Curious if i did an i cord boost all the way down a scarf would it make a kind of ruffle along the edge?

[@galynnzitnik4600]

Starting from a point and increasing on the diagonal, is there a way to have icord edges each side? Do you have a video that already shows that technique?

[@reikiriecreations]

thanks for the tips! i've noticed that i'm a tight knitter with i-cords and it made me irritated :p ;)

[@StephenWest]

Glad I could help!

[@jenniferbarrett3272]

👍🤗

[@coledevilliers283]

Stephen do you have any advice for fixing an icord edge when you've had to rip back?

[@rajkumarmanickam3014]
