How to Crochet Double Chain and Half I-Cord

- In this tutorial video I'll show you how to crochet what's known as a double chain as well as a half I-cord.
Hi I'm Donna Wolfe from Naztazia. Very often we need to make cord-like items in crochet. A traditional chain is sometimes too thin and flimsy. And a traditional I-cord, whether knitted or crocheted, is sometimes too thick. Right in the middle is a double chain, also known as a half I-cord.
It's pretty simple to make these cords. You will use a yarn strand from the tail end as well as a yarn strand from the main yarn skein. You'll work a yarn under with the tail end and a yarn over with the main yarn. This forms a nice cording that can be used for a strap on a top, button loops, bracelets, and more.
I'm using 100% acrylic worsted weight yarn and a size 4.5 mm crochet hook for my sample..

Aren't these neat?
Yes my bb
Great viewing with the camera placement!
Yes, super cute and so many ways to use them. I'm going to make one for my watch band to hold the other band in place. Thank you Natazia ❤️
They really are. Thank You 😊
Yes, I have been using it in all of my crochet work now. It makes the starting chain so much easier to see lol
Love this and already am thinking about how I want to use it. Think it would be fun to add some metallic thread in there too. Thanks for this video, perfect as always! ☺️❤️
That would be cool!
Great idea! Thank you!!🧡
This EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you❣️💞 🧶
Happy to help!
Hi, Natzazia. So cool 😎 and simply illustrated, so many uses for this.GOD BLESS see you on the tube 😀 🙏.
Thank you!
Hey, this is great to start your basic rows on patterns. I am doing a turkey plastic bag holder and I started the pattern off with this stitch, it gave a much better finish look to the starting of the pattern. It made the start look really professional and no bulky knots that had to be hidden. I will be using this stitch to start all my blankets, and my amigurumi projects. Thank you for sharing this helpful stitch. I also made a lanyard using this style and was able to swap the colors around without having to cut my yarn.
I love these... I have found they also work great for a foundation row... but you do have to watch your tension when using it for this... Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yes, I agree with you on both counts!
Extremely useful. Wonderful demonstration! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Donna for explaining a yarn under. I have seen it in other videos and just couldn't get it right. I think I can now. Hugs
Glad it was helpful!
Great idea for that mid size cord! Thank you for all your fantastic videos...I have learned so much from you!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful
Wonderful tutorial. Very clear. Thank you.
Looks easy to make it with your clear instructions.thank you for sharing your lovely creations ma'am ❤️❤️❤️ love you and God bless you 🤝💕💕💕
Thanks so much 😊
Thanks so much! I have been wanting a stitch to use for purses! Yay!
Thats really cool, Donna. Thank you! I enjoy trying out new crochet stitches. Best wishes from Switzerland ! 🤩💐👋!
Awesome as always .i always learn something new from you .
Wow! Lots of possibilities! Thank you!
They would make a nice tail on Amigurumi animals. Thank you for a great tutorial. I will definitely be using this method. ❤
Exactly!
These flowers are so pretty!! Maybe I will take up crocheting.
Please do!
Hello! I just tried it and was successful, to my surprise. After this, I decided to try and use the small cord I made as I would a regular chain to start some random work. It made really nice edge, and the end of tĥe tail disapeared in the first row. As I was wondering how long à tail I would have to keep when starting à very long piece, I realised that would just have to work it the same way you did with the 2 colour cord.
Thank you for posting this!
Want to try this looks so nice.
Wow awesome ideas n thanks for sharing 👍
Thank You wonderful info.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks Donna. Terrific!
Happy to help!
I love this ❤
Love this!! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching!
These are great, I made loads as toys for cats, & sold some for charity. My cats love them as do friends cats.
That is awesome!
Very cool!!
TY!
Hi. Just discovered your channel today. I’m loving it! Thanks ❤. Am I overlooking the instructions for the flowers you show here? 💐💐
Very cute thank you so much
You’re welcome 😊
Awesome!
Thanks so much!
Thank you!!!!
Welcome!
This terminology was no me and I’ve crocheted for more than 60 years. You teach a lot of good information.😅
Happy to help!

Love how this cord looks! You make it look so easy 😊. Do you think it’s sturdy enough to work as a strap on crocheted cropped/tank tops?
Yes, definitely, I've done it many times. And the other side of it is more "flat" so it sits on shoulders nicer, as opposed to a purely round cord that sort of rolls off things.
@@naztazia Perfect! I’m going to use this next time. Thanks so much for your reply!!!
Wow
I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH MY YARN COMING APART WHEN STARTING MY CHAIN. ANY SUGGESTIONS? TU FOR YOUR VIDEOS. I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING 💕 🙏
Do you mean the yarn is splitting into strands when you work? If so, that might be something with the yarn and nothing you can control (some yarn just does that). If not, can you explain in detail what's happening?
Hi this is great thank you, I would like to know what a North Dakota CAD is and how do you do it, if you please help me with this I would appreciate it.
I've never heard of a North Dakota CAD with regards to crochet. However, I'm thinking perhaps you've come across a Spanish pattern that somehow got melded in with some English terms. CAD might be referring to "cadena" in Spanish, which in English would be called a chain CH stitch in crochet. And the ND part I don't believe means North Dakota. I think it might be proceeded by a number, such as 2, to mean 2nd or "second." So 2 ND CAD in a crochet pattern might mean do something in the "second chain."
Thank you@@naztazia I'm trying to make the Rowdy Bunny and I'm not understanding half of the pattern.
can u make these with 4 colors ?
Hi, I'm new to crochet and I'm learning a single chain. I'm doing well but how can I control the tension, i noticed my chain look loose and tight in some areas. Can I hold the working yarn with the pinky too? Also I'm going to try the double next, it looks easy ❤
Yes absolutely! In knitting, which the i-cord originates from, many of us, including myself, do use the pinky to control the working yarn tension.
Hello again, I figured out another way to keep my yarn tension in place, after you wrap it around the pink, I bring the end up and wrap over top of the ring finger and under the middle finger then back over the index finger. I figured this out by just playing around and I just pull the yarn at the ringer finger to make the tension tighter. Lol
🌹🌹🌹😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️
How is the green one done ?
That one is a traditional i-cord. You can both knit one and crochet one. I have a both a knitted tutorial and crochet tutorial. If you are looking for the crochet version, here it is: th-cam.com/video/mZ5nspCDZXc/w-d-xo.html
Using thicker chunky yarn I found that the ears didn't lay flat. I have decided just try and crochet the same shape but only one sided. Did anyone else experience the same problem with the chunky yard?
Can you please tell me how you tie off your ends
I have a full tutorial that might help showing several ways of weaving in yarn ends and all: th-cam.com/video/DTNcludPZf8/w-d-xo.html
@naztazia thank you going to see!!
Hii
What do you mean when u said that you make letters using them
How?
Sounds like another tutorial is in order!
@@naztazia yeah!!!!!
🌺🍀🌸👌👍
Gracias🤍
I would say change the mantra to over -under ….by throwing the yarn over the hook front to back then throwing the yarn over the hook back to front. Over- under. So much easier.
