Have fun making I-cord with knitwear designer Juliet Bernard
Join in with Juliet Bernard’s online workshops and nurture your interest in all things woolly!
Juliet will show you how to make a little tube of knitting called an i-cord and then transform it into a butterfly and a flower. Why not add a button and create an effective embellishment for a jumper, hat, scarf or even a Twiddler! It’s a great way to get used to handling yarns and it’s a really easy way to get knitting!
Share your I-cord creations with us on Facebook and Instagram #Twiddlers, we would love to see them.

You will need:
- Double knitting yarn in any colour you like
- A knitting dolly or a pair of 4mm knitting needles
