Top knit tip

To make the i-cord used for the leaf stems, first cast your stitches onto one double-pointed needle. Using a second double-pointed needle, knit the first row, but do not turn. Instead, slide the stitches to the opposite end of the needle. Pull the yarn across the back of the work so you’re ready to knit the next row. Keep doing this until the i-cord is the right length.
