Class Details:
This class is 2 of 6 in a series called Casting On and Binding Off for Modern Edges. You do not need to take all six! But as a whole they will give you a great set of skills.
We’ll learn how to add an I-cord to each side of a swatch in one piece. That’s right! This trim is built right into the fabric, no need to add a neat edge after the fact. An I-cord selvedge keeps your knitting flat and looks great on both sides. You can easily add this technique to most borders when designing your own knitwear or making small adjustments to an existing pattern in your library!
