This is the easiest way of knitting short rows I have ever seen. Very clear tutorial.Thank you so much for sharing.
You are most welcome, Glynis :-) Happy knitting!
I’ve researched everything I can find on short rows-I’m obsessed-and your video was the clearest, simplest and most brilliant of them all.
Thank you Maryna, I can always count on you for concise and utterly professional instruction....plus your hands are lovely!
Thank you, Mary :-)
What a fantastic easy way of doing this,i nearly gave up until i seen this,thank you so so much.
Oh wow! Wish I'd have seen this 5 years ago, it's so easy and looks so good. Thank u ❤
Thank you. You have removed my fear of short rows. Your instructions are very clear.
This is the best method for short rows on stockinette.
Oh my goodness , you just explained short rows that I can understand. Thank you .
Wow, this changes how I will do short rows. This basically creates short rows doing lifted increases. Makes total sense. Shaping looks great; no holes. You rock, Maryna!
Thank you, Leigh :-)
This is so much easier than "turn, wrap the yarn, hold tight etc etc" thing which I can never remember. Thank you sooooo much for this tutorial! I am definitely going to use it. 😀
Thank you, Gabriela :-) Happy knitting, my friend!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I was very lost and had to tink at least 4 times in this pattern I'm working. ❤️
Thank-you so much for using a light/bright coloured heavy yarn for your demonstration. Very easy to see and understand.
Thank you. I have finally found a way that makes sense to me.
Thanks, Maryna! 😊
You are a genius.
Thank you, Roza :-)
Brilliant demonstration Maryna, you're a great teacher!
Thank you so much, Susan :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I was struggling with making an invisible join while knitting intarsia in a sweater in the round! The ordinary wrap & turn was not looking good! so I ripped out several rows & tried this method. SO much better! Join is invisible & no holes!! I always turn to your tutorials when I have a problem to solve!!
Thank you, Maureen :-) It is good to know that this method also works well for intarsia. Happy knitting!
This is also my favorite way to do short rows! Your video tutorial is a simpler, more elegant explanation of the stitch than I've seen elsewhere, though. Thank you for that!
Thank you, Laura :-) I'm happy my explanation was clear enough. Happy knitting!
Thank you for the large needles & yarn. It makes the stitches so easy to see.
I'm happy the thick yarn helps you see the stitches better, Rosalind. I will start using it in my videos more often :-)
10rowsaday Thank you very much.
I am brand new to short row heels & toe up socks so this makes so much sense. I've watched other videos about this and sometimes it's hard to see the wrap & turn on the purl side. These "twin stitches" make it much easier to see when to turn. Thank you so much!
P.S. I am a subscriber..your easy stretchy bind off is the BEST! It's my go-to bind off. Thanks for that too!
Thank you, Berni :-) I'm happy you find my tutorials helpful. It means the world to me to know that. Thank you!
Thank you so much! I had been struggling with short rows on my Zweig sweater--had to take it out twice--and your beautifully clear instructions allowed me to master this part of the pattern!
Thank you Dolores :-) I'm so happy that this tutorial helped you to master short rows. Happy knitting!
I recently used this method on socks for the first time and it works great! Thank you!
I'm happy to hear that, Chris :-) Happy knitting!
So I used your method on a headband with several wrap and turns in the pattern. THIS IS THE BEST. So easy to do and to work further on. There are NO holes! Brilliant.
Awesome! That's exactly how I felt when I tried this method for the first time. Never looked back :-)
I learned how to do shadow wraps from a gal in my knitting group. I had a heck of a time learning from written instructions. Thank you got covering this!
THANK YOU ! I am learning new knitting techniques by watching your videos. You make it so easy. I've never seen this way for short rows.
Thank you, Terri. I'm happy my explanations make sense to you :-) Happy knitting!
Thank you so much! I wouldn't knit a sweater if it called for short rows. This is great! everything was so clear!
And again you saved mij project!! You are amazing! You turn difficult things
Into clear and easy techniques!! Love it!! Thank you so mutch 🥰
I've been making Christmas stocking for the grandkids and need to do short rows on both the heel and toe. The way I have done it in the past was okay, but your shadow wraps are just the best! Not only are they easy to do, but they look nice, are easy to count, work up quickly and make the heel and toe look fabulous. Thank you so much for sharing this technique. This is my "go to" for short rows!
Mine too, Kathy :-) Since I discovered this method, I've been using it exclusively in all projects that require short rows.
You are brilliant! Thanks!
this is just brilliant!
Beautiful way to knit short rows! I will try it the next time I had to do them, thank you!!!
Very nice Maryna! This is very interesting too! Thanks for sharing!
WOW! That is a lot easier than the way I've been doing it and no room for errors. I like this, thank you.
Thank you, Karen :-)
Thanks!
Thank you, my friend :-) Greatly appreciated!
Another helpful tutorial, Maryna! Thank you. I have been experimenting recently with various short row techniques and I think I like this one best of all. It's even easier than the German short row technique, which also gives a nice result.
Thank you, Ruth. I'm happy you like this way to make short rows. Just like you, I love how easy it is, and I really like the look of the fabric made using this way. Happy knitting! :-)
Thank you for your video on doing the short rows it makes it look so much easier!
Thank you, Sandra. I'm glad you find it helpful :-)
Thank you! your tutorials are so helpful, especially for me the short row tutorial.
Thank you for this tip. I will try it with seed stitch at neck edge as my decs at neck edge are making a messy pick up. :) x
That's a great idea! Let me know how it turned out. Thank you :-)
Excellent 👌 Thanks! I Love this technique and your videos! 😊
This is amazing 😊 Thank you so much
Thank-You for hooking me up to that link. Tons of socks, Great I Love knitting socks.
Me too. Hooray to sock-knitting! :-)
Thank you so much for this! Super helpful 🙂
Thank you, Steph :-)
Thank you, Maryna! I am the one who asked you about short rows. I really appreciate you creating this tutorial on the subject!
Your questions are always on point, Becky :-) Thank you so much for bringing up the most interesting subjects.
Thank you, I'm going to try this on my next project.
That's great, Gina! Let me know how it worked for you :-)
Thank you for sharing this useful information
You are most welcome, Monica :-)
First, let me say that I love your videos; they are clear, short, and on point
One suggestion here though: You will find a neater result if you insert your needle tip through the head only of the purl stitch when making shadow wraps on the purl side. (I see that you enter your needle through the whole stitch here.)
Please. try my suggestion to see what you think, and keep up the great videos! Thanks. :)
Many thanks for this note, March Air. I'm happy you find my tutorials useful :-) You are absolutely right - purling through the bar of a stitch is a classic way to make "shadow wraps". But I find it more tricky to do than working into the stitch. Considering that it doesn't affect much the finished look of the project, I usually simplify this step and purl into the stitch. That's the "adjustment" I mentioned at the very beginning of this video. Thanks again for bringing it up :-)
10rowsaday Thank you for response. Your videos are super-very clear and informative. Thanks for sharing with us. 😊
What an elegant alernative to the wrap and turn! Many "easy alternatives" only make things more complicated, but not this one. I am definitely going to try this technique. I wonder how it works when the same stitch gets multiple wraps.
Gritter, I'm happy you like this technique :-) I've never tried to make multiple wraps in the same stitch. My guess is, it could get bulky at some point. Let me know how it looks once you get to test it. Thanks :-)
@@10rowsaday I tested it on a short row heel and it works great! I would even say it looks better than the wrap and turn or German short rows for this application. Because the stitch below holds 3 stitches(the original stitch and two shadow wraps), it tends to look stretched out after working the second shadow wrap. This will, however, fix itself when knitting past the "triple stitch". Also, when "combining" the wrapped stitches on the wrong side, a p2tog results in a shadow wrap in front on the right side of the work. To end up with the original stitch in front, you would have to work a ssp instead. That being said, you really cannot see the difference and a p2tog is much quicker to work.
ahhh! ...the joy of simplicity ...thank you again ...I have been wanting to do a ten stitch blanket but the short rows for the mitered corners were putting me off ...I will have another look at that pattern
I totally agree - the joy of simplicity! Good luck with the blanket, Thom :-)
Loce your videos and accent.
Do you by chance have a video on fixing a dropped shadow wrap?
Hi Allison. It is quite tricky to fix a dropped shadow wrap. When I find a simple solution, I will make a tutorial about it. Happy knitting, my friend :-)
Perfect tutorial...clear and concise. Can this technique of short rows be used for turning a heel on a sock?
Sure, Kathy. This type of short rows looks great on a sock heel.
Since I have never done a short row heel, I like your method and want to try it on the toe up socks I am now making, But I have a question. This is done on the part that increases the heel. How does this effect the part that decreases the heel stitches? I hope I asked that correctly. Thank you
Hi Berni, Usually, the pattern will tell you what to do during each step of shaping the heel. When it instructs you to make short rows, feel free to use the method described in this tutorial. The rest is up to the pattern you follow. Happy knitting :-)
Where does the needle get inserted when doing shadow wraps in garter stitch? I've tried everything and can't figure it out! Can you help?
Hi Nola, Insert the needle into the stitch below the first stitch on the left needle. Happy knitting :-)
I don't understand how I would do a shadow wrap in GARTER stitch. Can you explain this please?
Hi Nola, I haven't tested this method with garter stitch, but my guess is that you should continue to work in the garter stitch pattern when you turn your work after making a shadow wrap. The shaping won't be invisible because you will have more garter ridges in the segment of your project shaped by short rows.
love this method. How is the WS done if you are working Garter stitch? is the yarn still held in front?
Hi Maggie, If you use this technique on garter stitch, work shadow wraps as knits (with the yarn at the back of the work) on both sides. Happy knitting :-)
I am doing a short rose mohair and silk Scar. It’s asking for slip one and continue knitting and for the next row turn. Do I need to slip the one??? Because it’s leaving a whole
Hi Diane. If the pattern uses the usual "wrap and turn" technique to create short rows, you need to wrap the stitch with the yarn before you slip that stitch. That way there will be no hole when you slip the stitch. Otherwise, you can always use the technique explained in this video tutorial instead of the "wrap and turn". Happy knitting :-)
would this work for short rows on heel of sock? I use german short rows right now but i like to try new things!~
Absolutely! It's just a different way to make short rows. You can use it on any occasion when you would use "wrap & turn".
I like this version of short rows and plan to try it. But, I have a question - I have a pattern that has several different stitches. One of the stitches is the double seed stitch that has to be increase every 4th row. Is there a way to do this increase without making it look sloppy and coming out so that you do not have to readjustment to next seed stich over (i.e., without having 2 knit stitches together?)
Hi Peggy, you can incorporate the increased stitch in the pattern right after you make the increase. Simply knit or purl the new stitch depending on the way you work a stitch next to it. This way, the pattern won't be interrupted. Happy knitting :-)
Not in the back hole, but in the round back of the stick!
If you mean doing the short rows on the purl side of the work, picking a shadow wrap from the stitch below is easier than fishing for the correct strand, and it does not affect the look of the finished short rows. Happy knitting!
Do you have a sock pattern where this can be used?
Any sock pattern that requires short rows will work. I just did a quick pattern search on Ravelry and found almost 6000 patterns for socks with a short row heel (isn't Ravelry amazing? :-) Here's the link to the search results - bit.ly/2N7yQUp Happy sock-knitting :-)
Thank you, would you ever use this on heels of socks?
Absolutely! I use this way of making short rows to knit heels all the time :-)
thank you :)
@@10rowsaday How do you make a Shadow wrap double wrap?
WILL NEVER DO SHORT ROWS ANY OTHER WAY!!!!!
I meant to write Row.

And I recently used this method (but not learned from this tutorial) and HATE IT. I’ve been knitting for eons and this was just a hot mess. I’ll take a simple w&t any day. That said, this tutorial was way better than the one I saw and the pattern instructions were terrible so that was likely the problem. I’m sure if I’d seen this tutorial my socks would look a lot better. In the end though it seems like a lot of work for nothing.
Gaylyn, there is nothing wrong with using the techniques that we like regardless of the number of similar techniques available out there. If you like w&t, it is totally fine to use it any time you need to work short rows. I'm sure your projects look as nice without shadow wraps :-) Happy knitting!
