I was applying icord to a bonnet yesterday, and found that it looked a lot better when I applied it to the wrong side of my knitting (contrary to the instructions in the pattern). Do you have an opinion? Hi Lucia.

Mine looked nice. I did two experiments. First, I did a "k2tog" when I got to the Icord and body stitch. That looks <em>bad</em> The Slip-slip-knit looks good. But, I always have an opinion which is: It's worth trying it several ways and deciding which way you like best. Now, I'm going to have to try your way! I’ve never tried attaching from the wrong side.

Then I applied idiot cord; (see my halter to learn how to do this). Applying I-cord is a truly mindless knitting task, but when I was done, the trim looked good. So, I just wove in all ends, wet the hat and let it dry on a small bowl placed on top of a can of chicken stock. [...] […] When the flaps came to a point, I broke the yarn and knit a second flap.

I tried to illustrate everything I could think of. So, I need to know what's confusing you so I can add new text and photos sometime when I'm attaching icord again. Hi Heba,

Slide earflap stitches so the needle points are between the two stitches that create the "point" of the earflap. With knit side of hat facing you, slide the 3 I cord stitches onto the left needle tip. Begin to knit attached I-cord; to do this, you knit the first two I-cord stitches, then work an ssk to seam together the third I cord stitch to a hat stitch. ( You can see details of how to attach the I cord in my halter pattern. Also, if you worked any yarn over short row, you will eventually come across some yarn overs. Work yarn-overs and stitches together by working a "slip icord stitch, slip hat stitch, slip both stitches back to left needle, then knit 3 stitches together.") Continue until you have knit the I-cord together with the first of the two stitches that creates the point of the earflap. Begin to knit detached I cord, and continue until the second cord is the same length as the first. Break yarn; anchor. Then, remove waste yarn and anchor the other I-cord edge. (Tip added 6/6/2006: When attaching over the sloping part of the earflaps, you may want to use thicker needles. MonkeyJunkie went up 3 sizes!) [...] […] Find an earflap point.

Looks fine, but I am somewhat confused with the i-cord. I made one, and attached it to the two point sts on the end of the ear flap, repeated with another cord for the other ear flap. Now, do I knit another i-cord to go around the circumference of the hat (front & back)picking up the "live sts" and continue attaching the cord around the ear flaps, short rows?
