How to knit short rows with wrap on right side (RS)

Keywords: short rows,

In this DROPS video we show how you can knit short rows with a wrap on the right side (RS).

When knitting short rows you can shape the garment by making soft curves or give a better fit by creating bust darts. Short rows are partially knitted rows before turning. By turning with a wrap you avoid a hole at the turning point.

Short row from RS: Work number of sts told in pattern, slip following st purl-wise, place yarn in front of work, slip st back on left needle, turn and work the row back. When knitting next row and getting to the st with wrap; work wrap and stitch together as one stitch and then finish row.

You must read the pattern to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns where you can use this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

The video above can be used in the following patterns

Tack för er utmärkta video. Jag har för sökt göra snygga förkortade varv med hjälp av beskrivningar i böcker om stickteknik, men er beskrivning fick mig att förstå hur jag skulle göra. Tack!

Please go slower! I am a "thrower" (I throw the yarn over the knitting as I work it) so by the time I understood how you knit, the video was over. I missed the short row part. Also, many countries do understand English as a second language. Try it, that might also work in having explanations.
