How to Knit Short Rows: A Knitting Tutorial
What are short rows? In this knitting tutorial, learn why short rows are, how they work and the essential skill of creating short rows with the wrap and turn technique. Short rows are pivotal in shaping knitwear, enabling wonderful curves and contours by inserting extra rows in your work without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches. This technique is popularly used in sock heels and other forms where added depth and shape are needed. To achieve short rows: 1. (Knit row) Begin working across your row as instructed, stopping partway through a row. 2. Wrap the next stitch with the working yarn, then turn your work. (Purl Row) Purl back as instructed, then wrap the next stitch with the yarn and turn. 3. Repeat this process as instructed. As you reach the point where you previously turned, "resolve" the wrapped stitch by working the wrap together with the stitch.
