I-cord side edges: a Knittycat's Knits technique

Video tutorial on how to do i-cord edging. This type of edging provides a neat edge on either side of your knitted work; the video shows a 3-stitch i-cord edge on either side of your work. You only need regular knitting needles for this type of side edging. Abbreviations: YB=take the yarn to the back; YF=bring the yarn to the front; Sl=slip 1 stitch purlwise; st=stitch For i-cord edging on both sides, cast on 3 additional stitches on either side of your project. Then follow pattern as below if starting on the right side of your work. Row 1: K1, YF, Sl1 with the yarn in front, YB, K1. Then follow your project pattern until you reach last 3 sts. Then K1, YF, Sl1 with yarn in front, YB, K1. Turn work. Row 2: With yarn in front, Sl1, YB, K1, YF, Sl1. Then follow your project pattern until you reach last 3 sts. Then YF (or if your yarn is naturally in the front because of the pattern, then leave it in front), Sl1, YB, K1, YF, Sl1. Turn work. Follow these 2 rows for an i-cord edge. If you were starting your i-cord edge, when facing the wrong side of the work, then do Row 2 first, then row 1.
