knitting
here...I-cords are an easy way to make the thin tube-shaped parts
of your project. Using two double-pointed needles, cast on
the required number of stitches and knit one row. Then,
instead of turning your work like normal, slide all your
stitches to the other end of the needle and pull the yarn
tight across the back of the work to shape it. Knit another
row, before sliding them across again and repeating the
process until you reach the desired length, then cast off.i CORD
