A Tutorial on Applied I-cord Bind off

My moebius cowl patterns Infinity Squared and Time Loop both feature the Applied I-Cord Bind Off.  Since the moebius has only one edge, this bind off makes a particularly nice finish for the cowls.

Time Loop Cowl

Time Lp Cowl is totally  fun-to-knit; a bit addictive if truth be told. This completely reversible moëbius cowl/wrap features a contrast i-cord edging.
