Cast on from the V-Edge:

New stitches are taken from the Vedge. The right side of the knitted piece is at the top and with the crochet hook the back leg of the V is pulled under the front leg of the V and taken to the knitting needle. Edge stitches in stockinette: Slip the edge sts at the beginning of a row (yarn behind work), and purl the edge sts at the end of a row. So you get a V-Edge.

I-Cord-Edge (explanation for both sides):

The red marked sts from the patternset are the frist behind die i-cord. To make the i-cord round and tight, knit the I-cord connection thread with the red st together. Connection (explanation forboth sides): Knit the last stitch from the PS with one stitch ot the other part together. RS knit together / WS purl together like you see in the chart. Sometimes it could be k3to/p3to, for details, see description
