Double U-Turn

My friend and knitting mentor, Sandy, has always expressed her admiration for i-cord edgings. One day, as she pondered the versatility of this technique, she exclaimed, “It would be really neat if you could cast on a project from the middle and work outward, allowing for the seamless slipping of stitches to create a beautiful i-cord edging.” Inspired by her innovative ideas, I immediately began sketching and sharing my concepts with her.

This knitting pattern is designed precisely to incorporate that unique approach. By starting from the center, this project not only simplifies the process of adding i-cord edging but also creates a beautifully symmetrical design. As you knit, you’ll find that the i-cord edging enhances the overall aesthetic of your piece, giving it a polished finish that elevates any garment or accessory.

In this pattern, you'll discover detailed instructions that guide you through each step, from the initial cast-on to the final i-cord edging. Whether you're a novice or an experienced knitter, this project offers a wonderful opportunity to practice your skills while creating a stunning finished product. Join the community of knitters who appreciate the art of i-cord edging and experiment with this innovative technique that Sandy inspired. Get ready to embark on a knitting journey that combines creativity with practicality, ensuring your projects are not only functional but also visually striking!
