So, basically it's a tube inside of a knit I-cord, it makes the handles sturdy and they last longer than just I-cord alone. The trick is to start your I-cord on your knobby-knitter, and after 4 round, you gently insert the tubing and push it through the middle and the rounds progress. You will want to continue the rounds after you've come to the other end of the tube and bind off. Then use some yarn to sew the handles in place.
