How to cast off with an i-cord edge in garter stitch

Keywords: I-cord, cord, edge, garter stitch, stocking stitch,

In this DROPS video we show how we cast off with an i-cord edge in a piece worked in garter stitches / ridge stitches.
Cast on 2 stitches, knit up 1 stitch in the outermost loop of the bottom ridge = 3 stitches on the needle.
*Push the stitches back to the beginning of the needle and work again from the right side without turning. Knit 2, slip the next stitch as if to knit, knit up a new stitch in the next ridge on the hood, pass the slipped stitch over the knitted-up stitch *, work from *-* until an edge has been worked. Knit up 1 stitch in each ridge, if this makes the edge tight, knit up 1 more stitch evenly (we have knitted 2 extra stitches in this piece). Knit together the last 3 stitches on the row.

We use the yarn DROPS Snow in the video. You must read a pattern to be able to follow this video properly. You’ll find a pattern using this technique by clicking on the picture below.

Witaj, robisz to tak samo, również na prawej stronie robótki, różnica jest taka, że zaczynasz I-cord od górnego brzegu swetra (na przykład na górze obszycia lewego przodu) i kończysz I-cord na dole swetra. Miłej pracy!
