Knitting Machine Tutorial: I-Cords, Bind Offs, and Tricky Corners

Want to give your machine knitting projects a polished, professional edge? In this video, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about knitting I-cords on a knitting machine. I am demoing on the LK150. Whether you need a standalone cord for a drawstring, a clean I-cord bind off, or a complex applied border, I’ve got you covered. The trickiest part of applied I-cords is navigating the corners without puckering or gaps—so I’ll show you my exact method for tackling both inside and outside corners seamlessly. In this tutorial, we cover: - How to knit a basic standalone I-cord (perfect for straps!). - Step-by-step I-cord bind off for a smooth edge. - Applied I-cords: Attaching trim as you knit. - The Secret to Corners: How to turn outside AND inside corners perfectly.
