Twisted Cord
Measure 2 lengths of yarn twice as long as desired finished length of twisted cord. Fold each strand in half. Lay I strand down, then lay the second strand across the first strand at a right angle, forming an "X". Bring up the ends of each piece of yarn and secure them with a slip knot to the opposite end of the same piece of yarn. Pass one of the end slipknots over a doorknob,hook or drawer pull, and slip a crochet hook into the opposite slipknot.Turn the hook to twist the strands of yarn. Continue twisting until the yarn is quite taut and evenly twisted. Bring the ends of the yarn together, then release the middle of the cord allowing it to twist around itself forming a plied cord. Note: When slipping sts while working the Dkss edge, the yarn will always be held toward you. regardless of whether the RS or the WS of the work is facing you.
