I will show you how to make a colorful cord using Red Heart multicolored yarn. You can use any yarn and hook to get started. To begin, create a slip knot on your hook and chain three by yarning over and pulling your yarn through.
Next, insert your hook into the second chain from the hook, draw up a loop, and then insert your hook again into the last chain and drop your loop. Ensure you hold on to the previous two loops to avoid losing them. Yarn over and pull through the first loop, then move to the next loop, insert your hook, grab the last loop, and yarn over and pull through. Finally, insert your hook into the last loop on your hook, yarn over, and pull through to complete the row for the cord.
You’ll continue repeating this pattern for the entire cord. Grab the two loops so you don’t lose them, pull through the first loop, insert your hook into those two, and the one loop you dropped, yarn over, and pull through that loop. Insert your hook in the last loop, yarn over, and pull through to repeat the process. Remember to drop those two loops again and hold on to them.
To finish, yarn over and pull through all three loops. Yarn over for a chain one, cut your yarn, weave in your ends, and your cord is complete. Thank you for watching, and please consider subscribing for more tutorials.
