Although this sounds rather complex, it really isn’t. This tutorial demonstrates how an applied purled I-Cord can be worked across a piece of knitted fabric, to add a key feature or structure. Ideally, a purled ridge will have been worked in the fabric wherever the applied I-cord is intended, as this gives the neatest results.
This tutorial has been written to support my Asymloche design, however the principles can be applied in many areas. It also looks identical to the ‘Purled I-cord 3-Needle Bind-off’ and together than can be used in various parts of your knitting, depending on need, for striking results. It may be that the I-cord will be worked at 90 degrees to the fabric, or it may be that short rows have been placed to ensure the purled ridge (and resulting I-cord) sit at an altogether different angle.
