  1. Make a knot in the middle of a yarn strand about 4–5 times the length of the cord you want.
  2. Insert the hook into the loop of the knot.
  3. Keep one yarn strand in front and one in back. Loop the front yarn over the hook from front to back.
  4. Hold the bottom of the cord. Use the back yarn to yarn over and pull through the two stitches on the hook.
  5. Repeat to make additional I-cord stitches.
