How to Knit the Perfect I-Cord: Bind Offs, Applied Edges & Corners

Want to give your hand knits a polished, high-end finish? An I-cord edge is one of the best ways to stabilize necklines, blankets, and cardigans, but getting the corners to lay flat can be tricky. In this tutorial, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about I-cords. Whether you need a simple drawstring, a clean bind off, or a border attached to an existing piece, I walk you through it step-by-step. Most importantly, I show you the secret to navigating both inside and outside corners so your edging never puckers or pulls.
