stitch i-cord

I copied the pattern for the booga bag and it says to make a 5 stitch i-cord with your 10 1/2 double pointed needles. What does it mean to make an i-cord?

Amy has a video on making icords. Basically you will cast on 5 to your dpn. Then instead of turning your work you will slide it down to the opposite point and knit your next row. This will make a cord. Definately check out the video.
