Companion video for the Beach Bucket hat pattern.
An i-cord bind-off creates a very defined edge with almost no give. It is perfect for adding stability any edge that needs a little extra something to keep everything together. It is also a very strong edge and was often used in traditional sweaters, such as Fishermen Ganseys, at shoulder joins to help those seams keep their shape.
In the Beach Bucket pattern I am using the I-cord bind-off in a contrasting colour to both highlight the edge and define its shape.
The video will give you an understanding of how to create the I-cord to start the bind-off and the basic steps of the bind-off.
Happy learning, happy knitting!
