I add yarn overs between the icord stitches as I knit and drop them as I slip the three stitches. This adds a bit more stretch and looks very consistent. It’s fun to see so there are so many methods to achieve the same results.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit!

Of course this comes out a week after I finish my dotted rays! 😂 Guess I have to cast on another!

YES YES... Love I-cord everywhere I add it to most every shawl I do....... I also add a row when having to turn corners... makes the corners block beautifully I also use a 2x larger needle when doing an add-on I-cord and sometimes 3 extra rows- spaced when turning corners...

What a clever idea 😃

Love that tip on I-cord edges! Thank you! And as always I love your shawls .. ❤️

I do that!!!! Love it!!! I do it about every 4th row... Just learned an i-cord cast on where you do a yarnover....game changer & easier to count!!! Slip 3, yarnover, knit 3, repeat as recommended...

Love the “spandex” line. Am in the middle of Ddotted Rays and so loving the knit. Thank you for the video and for learning something new.

Your such a great teacher Mr. West & I love your enthusiasm it’s so genuine and pair all that with your bubbly personality. It’s no wonder why your called Mr. West , I love you ! I can’t wait to order one or two of your books and use the stretchier I-Cord cast on. I’m going to try your bone yard shawl and just go completely organic & wild with random colors. Thanks for loving what you do!

Liked, subscribed, saved, and bookmarked. So glad I found this because my first I-cord was taking all the fun out of my first shawl. Your tutorials are THE BEST - thank you!

, West is the Best👏👏👍🇨🇱 Thanks a lot.

Genius! Simple but elegant solution! Thanks, Stephen!

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us, Stephen. You are a genius! 🤗

I just love ❤️ your knitting knowledge......thank you so much for sharing your talents 🙏

As always I learn a lot with you! Thank you Mr. West! 💜💚💛💙💖

Thanks for the English version. 🎉

Love it! After stopped knitting for so long, I started again recently and I love your videos.

I bought your Painting Chevrons pattern for two reasons. I've, I love chevrons. Two, after watching another i-cord video you did I became fascinated with i-cord edges. Painting Chevrons gives me both! I'm also doing and applied i-cord border in a coordinating color on a baby blanket that I'm working on. Thank you for the inspiration!

I used to knit icord pretty tight and hated I cord. I finally figured out to not snug up my stitches at all and it was much better. But your giving a little EXTRA to each stitch seems even better. I'll try that next time. Thanks!

Thanks, I love the simplicity of the I-cord boost.

👍🏽 excellent tip. I haven't tried i-cords and I definitely will keep this trick in my arsenal of techniques

Thank you so much!! I'm a tight knitter, so this technique is going to make such a difference in my knitting.

Thank you! Great tip.

Thank you! You have the most useful tips ever. This will help I'm positive.

Thankyou for all your helpful tips. Most appreciated

You are a master. Your outside the box thinking is so beautiful. I wish I had even a little bit of your abilities to design. By the way, I'm one of your fellow guy knitters. I just bought your classic designs pdf book. Looking forward to trying side of them, even though we don't get to wear them much in Phoenix, AZ, where it's over 100° a lot, lol. Thanks for being you👍😃

THANK YOU!!! LoL other videos i saw didn’t show how to form the stitches from the i-cord method-thing lol as you can probably tell i’ve never done an i-cord tab cast on method for knitting a shawl.

So easy and so effective. Love it!

..thank you so much for sharing your talents❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing this information. Can't wait to try it!!!

I always wander - what a strange knitting stile, now I know - its English 😅 Thank you for your tips 👌👍🧶

Tolle Idee. Danke.

Brilliant!

Omg such a game changer!! Thank you!!

I do need to knit a dotted rays. Thanks for the tips too.

Thank you very much. That’s a good idea. I bougt your pattern exploration station and I am excited to try it. Have a nice knitting day 🧶

I should use the boost technique for one of the edges of my botanic shawl🧐 thanks for the tutorial!

Thank you so much, you are always so helpful!!!

That’s what I’ve always done and not just for i-cord edges. I’ve always needed to do this on the top of crescent shawls, and some other shapes as well, any time that I’m not satisfied with the tension of the edge.

Toujours de bonnes idées... merci ! 😃

Stephen that was very helpful. I am more a loose knitter but still I would like more stretch to the i-icord edge.

Wow👍so easy

Love the tip of I corp tecnik... Will try it , thank you.🙏👌

🤩🤩🤩 parfait..Bravo

Excellent tip! Thanks so much!

This is super cool I needed that before I did my temperance shawl. Will this also work with a to stitch I cord edge?

Thanks Esteban Del Oeste. Kiss

Thanks! Good tip!!

👍🤗

thanks for the tips! i've noticed that i'm a tight knitter with i-cords and it made me irritated :p ;)

Hi ur Hat looking so cute Pls upload that knitting pattern for me dr

Hi! Curious if i did an i cord boost all the way down a scarf would it make a kind of ruffle along the edge?

Starting from a point and increasing on the diagonal, is there a way to have icord edges each side? Do you have a video that already shows that technique?

Stephen do you have any advice for fixing an icord edge when you've had to rip back?
