How to knit Japanese short rows

In this DROPS video we show how to work Japanese short rows. We have already knitted a piece in stocking st, and continues like this in the video:
Work stocking st until 5 st remains, turn, put a mark (or a safety pin) on the working yarn close up to the work (the mark will hang on wrong side of work), slip the st with the mark purl-wise, purl until 5 st remains, turn, put a mark on the working yarn close up to the work (the mark will hang on wrong side of work), slip the st with the mark purl-wise, knit until 10 st remains, turn, put a mark on the working yarn close up to the work (the mark will hang on wrong side of work), slip the st with the mark purl-wise, purl until 10 st remains, turn, put a mark on the working yarn close up to the work (the mark will hang on wrong side of work), slip the st with the mark purl-wise.
Now you knit, even the st with the mark, lift the loop with the mark on left needle, remove the mark, knit this loop and the next st straight together as one st. Do the same with the next mark on the right side row and finish the row. Turn, purl, even the st with the mark, slip the next st purl-wise from left to right needle, lift the loop with the mark on left needle, remove the mark, slip st from right needle back on left needle, purl st and loop together as one st, do the same with the next mark. Purl out row.

I am very late to this party but this is THE BEST demonstration of Japanese Short Rows….in particular: going past the marker and pulling up the loop to close the gap and, in particular reversing the order of stitches on the purl side. I have tried all sorts of short rows, including JSR in the past but thought I’d give it another try….perfection. I am making the Little Red Nose Jacket by Drops Design and used JSR for the back elevation. I am thrilled with the result.
