Cordsmith Tutorial

Cordsmith Tutorial

Hi pals! Welcome to the widely asked for Cordsmith tutorial! I am obsessed with this tool and I talk in detail about all the things you can do with it, plus I show you how to cast on, work the stitches, and cast off. This Cordsmith tutorial covers it all, I think. However, if there is something you need help with or have questions on please let me know in the comments and I’ll help out!

  • Custom SamBartleyDesigns Cordsmith Original Size
  • Custom SamBartleyDesigns Cordsmith Mini Size
  • I-cord bind off on a sweater with a Cordsmith. (You might have to click through a couple of the videos to see it, but it’s near the front.)
Custom SamBartleyDesigns Cordsmiths – in their shop now!

The business is called The Size Inclusive Collective and is ran by the sweetest human. Autumn is an advocate for helping crocheters and knitters find size inclusive patterns that will properly fit their bodies. She also helps designers learn how to be more size inclusive, and how to have items properly tested. I mention in the video she used to have a program to help if you can’t afford one, but I don’t see the info for that anymore so I can’t guarantee it is still active. (I recorded this a few weeks ago and might have missed an update, so sorry if that is the case!)

Anyway, here is the Cordsmith tutorial video, including how to cast on, how to cast off, what you can use the cords for, and what I am working on with my cords! I hope you like it, and let me know what other things you want to see me review!

    Thanks for the great video tutorial! I bought the Cordsmith in two sizes because I wanted the mini and the original size. My first project using it is the Summer Sorrel top from Wool & Pine – it uses an I-cord cast on and the idea of knitting over 120 rows of I-cord was enough to let it sit in my queue forever. Now I’m ready to cast on!
