This looks much easier than knitted i-cord but how do you adapt it for more stitches?
To adapt it for more stitches, just add an additional stitch or two between the first and last stitch. You’ll work the center stitches the same way you work the first stitch by chaining 1 then removing the hook and chaining 1 into the next stitch.
Does that make sense?
