This video is an introduction to what short rows are, what they are used for, and how they are worked. Two swatches are demonstrated. One in garter stitch using a simple turn; the other in stockinette, using a short row technique applied at the turn (German Short Row technique is demonstrated). Examples of projects that commonly incorporate short rows are shown.

@catlinboy 3 года назад

This is fab. As i've only ever used short rows in socks and it hadn't occured to me that short rows are analogous to increases and decreases wrt changing length vertically vs horizontally. That's such a more helpful way to think of it when for eample, doing the back of a jumper neck.

@lauriegerber2208 3 года назад

Thank you, Rox! So timely. I just finished a “practice” baby sweater with a 1x1 ribbed shawl collar. My efforts with wrap and turn look like bad scar tissue. After that difficult lesson, I watched some videos, read up in Vogue knitting and practiced swatches (also for buttonholes which were another weak point in the baby sweater). I was able to do the wrap and turn better, but the German short row technique and swatches/projects you show are so smooth looking! I’ll do some more swatch practice while I finish the body of the full sized sweater and see if I can do the German short rows successfully.

@WeaverWoman2 3 года назад

Will you be doing an advanced short row tutorial, explaining how to plan for short rows, how many to do in various cases? Specifically I am interested in calculating how many and how wide for a dowager’s hump...

@judithzondler1657 Год назад

That would be wonderful! I'm also trying to reliably figure out the math for that exact situation so I won't have to frog so much...🙃

@craftsbytre8623 2 года назад

This is one of the clearest videos I have seen on short rows. I am unclear however on how to calculate how many stitches I should stop short on. For example, If I wanted to pick up stitches for a sleeve and wanted to do short rows around the cap, how best do I calculate making that “crescent” until the shoulder cap is complete? I hope I am making sense.

@Asmamohamed153 2 года назад

Thank you for the tutorial , I want to ask you a question about a certain pattern for a hat in which is giving a certain pattern to follow ( a cable pattern ) , but also saying ( at the same time work shortened rows as follows : first on all sts. ) , How can I make shortened rows on all sts and working on the pattern at the same time ? Thank you again and I hope you will answer my question 🌼🌼

@georgekaplan5205 3 года назад

I would love to see you do a video about converting a step bind off shoulder to a short row shoulder and then three needle bind off.

@RoxanneRichardson 3 года назад

I have done that! There are two videos: one that replicates doing each shoulder separately, as for a sweater front, and one that demonstrates doing them simultaneously, as for a sweater back. You can find both videos in my 3NBO playlist.

@valeriekoochin3569 2 года назад

I love your videos, i have learned a lot! I am doing my first sweater and want to add a bit of length to bottom back hem, but I am unsure if I should do it starting wide and doing shorter rows each time, or the other way around? I am going top down in the round, and will add a bit of ribbing after. I have seen patterns where they just split at the sides, but I want it a bit more subtle, I only really need about 2 inches. Trying to match a sweater I own that I always seem to wear!

@darlenegardiner7911 2 года назад

I'm working my first garment. I like the look of the sloped bind off however, the garment I'm working has a selvedge edge. Does that change things at the end of the row?

@sylvialarson1506 3 года назад

Thank you for this great video on short rows! I learn so much from your videos! I'm making felted slippers and want to add length to heel only. This is an example...does it matter if I knit 7 st w&t, then 5 st w&t, 3 st w&t OR knit 3 st w&t, then 5 st w&t, 7 st w&t? If it does matter, why? In another video you mention the 1898 hat where you do a w&t. Is that a short row? Again thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise!

@RoxanneRichardson 3 года назад

Without knowing more about the slipper construction, the gauge you're working at, and how much length you want to add, I can't answer your slipper question. You could post the question in my Ravelry group, and include more information. As for the W&T for the 1898 hat, the process for wrapping and turning is the same as for a short row, but the goal is simply to turn and reverse direction permanently. The wrap is to connect the two ends of the row, in order to prevent a hole.

@juliecorbeil9060 7 месяцев назад

Hi Roxanne does the slip stitch count as the first stitch of the next row? My pattern states I’m to increase the number of stitches by 2 at each row so I’m not sure if I start counting with the slip stitch or the next one. Thank you

@lovesdogs8616 Год назад

So…I’m knitting a boucle knit skirt in a rib. I want to add some short rows in the back to add ease for for hips. I keep getting these big holes. Guess I will watch again, I think I need to do the wrap?

@cinda391 Год назад

I am knitting the Afterparty Sweater. The pattern calls for a short row which is not too far above the (6 1/2 inches above) ribbing. I am wondering why a short row and not a decrease row. The direction just says work a short row w&t.

@novembers 3 года назад

Hi: I am trying to make a video of my work so that I can see what I am doing (right or wrong) :). Can you tell me what camera you are using and how you set it up. I am trying to use my cellphone camera but I can't figure a way to get it above me to show my hand movement. The way you do it is perfect. I do not want to buy video equipment because this is just for me at home. Please advise, thanks

@RoxanneRichardson 3 года назад

My system is way to elaborate. I use an actual camera, and have a stand (it may be a light stand, I'm not sure) with a horizontal arm that holds my camera above my head, and is connected to a monitor so I can actually see what is in the frame. Not what you're looking for. Lots of people use their cell phones for overhead recording. There are various types of tabletop tripods (which you could elevate on a higher surface) or devices you can clamp to the edge of a table that have a bendable arm you can position overhead.

@theastewart6721 3 года назад

I just watched the video again. Very helpful. I, too, prefer German short rows. The blue scarf/wrap you showed towards the end is beautiful. Is that one of your patterns?

@RoxanneRichardson 3 года назад

The one with the criss-crossing strands along the bottom edge? That's one of mine. It's called Criss Cross. You should be able to find it in my Ravelry shop.

@theastewart6721 3 года назад

@EvieBear236 3 года назад

If the pattern doesn’t incorporate short rows to raise the back neck, how do you know where to start adding the short rows? I’m making a raglan cardigan. I don’t know where to do the first wrap and turn.

@chillbro2275 6 месяцев назад

I really wish my book had this information. Demonstrated clearly. I havent finshed the video yet, but i wonder if, when shoulder shaping while knitting top-down, there is any adjustment needed. Basically do use short rows the same way whether you knit bottom-up or top-down?

@RoxanneRichardson 6 месяцев назад

Whether (and how) you use short rows depends on the type of sweater construction you're knitting. Lots of top down sweaters (raglans in particular) use short rows, when they could just shape the neckline with increases and cast on sts before joining in the round. A bottom up raglan is more than likely going to shape the neckline, and not use short rows. Sweater constructions with seams at the shoulder will use short rows in a similar way to each other -- casting on and then doing short rows (rather than stair step cast on shaping) for top down, or using short row shaping instead of bind off stair steps shaping.

@chillbro2275 6 месяцев назад

@@RoxanneRichardson Ah thanks, I forgot to mention top-down for set-in sleeve construction. For shoulder shaping, instead of using stair-step cast-on, they cast on the full length? Then after than, i'm having trouble picturing how the short rows should be worked. I understand how they are worked when going bottom up, but to create that sloped shape when working top down, i can't see it yet. Thank you.
