Knitting simply fascinates me. So many ways to accomplish things. I’ve just started a project with short rows and this looks like such a simple option. Thank you!
BEST KNITTING TUTORIALS EVER! You clearly put a lot of thought and work into your tutorials because they are PERFECTION in every way! Visually your choice of yarn makes it very easy to see what’s being done because it’s bulky and in contrast to your background, which is CLUTTER FREE! Your camera angle is perfectly aligned with your hands and work, and your voice is calm and even. You always explain exactly what you are doing and why. Maybe you should teach a class on making UA-cam videos 😂 I would like to use this this technique in Garter Stitch working in the round to shape the back of a hood for a baby cocoon. It appears that the stitch being made into the stitch below always mimics the stitch directly above on the left needle. Would this mean that I’d always be Purling into the stitch below before turning the work when knitting Garter stitch? THANK YOU MARYNA❤
My dear Lindsy. Thank you so much for the kind words. It means a lot to me to know that you enjoy my tutorials and find them helpful. Thank you! As to using this method in a garter stitch project, you don't have to knit into the stitch below. You can also purl into it. Alternate knits and purls to mimic the look of garter stitch, and the hood will be neatly-shaped and will look very nice. Happy knitting :-)
Oh, another wonderful tip/trick! Thank you!! I do have a question. When doing short row heels, we usually shape as we decrease, then shape back and forth again as we increase. In this video, you simply knitted/purled all the way to the end. Is this how we would do it for heels too? Thanks!!
Thank you, Gisele :-) As to the heel shaping, follow the instructions in your pattern, but when it is time to use the "wrap and turn" or other short-row method, make a lifted short row instead. If you substitute for any method except German short rows, there is no need to make any adjustments to the pattern. If a pattern is designed specifically for German short rows, work one less stitch to the spot where you turn the work. For example, if a pattern tells you to work 10 stitches, turn the work and slip one stitch to the right needle before you pull the yarn as we normally do when we use the German short row method, work 9 stitches, then make a lifted stitch, place it on the left needle to form a double stitch, and turn the work. Happy knitting!
Thank you Maryna for your many excellent tips! I am knitting the back of a cardigan which calls for short rows. Even though the pattern says to make the double stitch AFTER I have turned the work, with this technique do I make the double stitch before turning the work?
Hello, can you do this for toe-up socks when you do the first half of short rows (provisional cast on). In this you wouldn’t knit all the “doubles” in one row because you need to do the second half. I couldn’t figure out how to knit the “double” and make another lifted before turning.
Hi Maryna. Great technique! Thanks for such clear and concise instruction! Have a wonderful weekend!💞
Thank you, Thea :-) Happy knitting, my friend!
Brilliant technique & so simple. What an addition to the knitter's bag of tricks. Thanks so much!
Thank you. I am happy to know that you like this method :-) Happy knitting!

Yes, Vivian, when we use this method, the double stitch is made before we turn the work. Happy knitting, my friend!

Is this the same as shadow wrap short rows?
It is very similar but easier :-)
