Short Row Savvy—an Introduction

Laura Bryant©2010

The concept of short rows is easy—simply work a portion of the stitches in a row, then
turn and work back, building more height on one side with an extra partial row. Continue
to stack more and more rows onto the base while stepping the stitches over and you will
see an angled shape that can either repeat for a curved edge, or be balanced in the
other direction for flat fabric with dynamic diagonal design lines.

The key to successful short rows is to wrap the

working yarn around the next stitch before
each turn (known as a “wrap and turn” and
abbreviated to “w & t”).

Work across the number of designated stitches,

bring working yarn forward between needles as if
to purl:

Slip next st as if to purl:

Put yarn back between needles and return the

slipped stitch to left hand needle:

Working yarn is wrapped around the stitch.

Turn and work to beginning of row. Repeat this

action at each turning point. If working garter
stitch, this is all you need do—when all stitches of
the row have been engaged, simply turn and knit
across all stitches:
