I-cord

When Im making I-cord I find there is one stitch on the cord that is looser than the other stitches in the row.How do you get even stitches all around?

Thanks!

I have that problem too, but never searched for a solution.   Sometimes I think I should get a wooden thread spool and put nails on it.   I cant remember the name ofit, but it makes fabulous cords.   Oooh, its a Knitting nancy or a spool knitter!

Think they call them French Knitters and knitting nobbies, too.I would do that, but the hat Im making begins with I-cord then continues to have I-cord edges.So I figure Id better just find some way to improve my technique.

Have you tried knitting the last stitch tbl? it gives a more direct path back to the first stitch..........................

Thank you, Lucy!That did the trick along with a slight tug after each row.Now to see if it helps when I try to work i cord borders on the body of the hat!

I walked into a craft fair once with my ex.After being with me for a while I was so proud of him when he noticed someone demonstrating the making of I-cord and he said, "I-cord!"
