I-cord is circular knitting with only 3 - 5 stitches in the round. It is used for edgings, cords, braids, and handles. If it is worked in a circle and the stitches meet Heads to Feet, it can be beautifully joined at the beginning and end point using waste yarn to hold the initial stitches.
I-cord is usually worked on a double-pointed needle as follows: Cast on 4 (or chosen number) sts. Round 1: Knit to end. Slide the stitches to the opposite end of the needle. Bring the working yarn from the left edge across the back of the stitches before repeating Rnd 1. The strand across the back of the work will be absorbed into the adjacent stitches as the cord grow.
