I love the way you show multiple ways to knit back and forth. Shadow wraps are probably my favorite short rows as they seem to disappear best in much of the knitted work. As always, excellent tutorial!
How would that be used in the round, so that the WS wrap doesn’t create a hole on the WS when going back to knitting in the round? Your book described it for W&T and German short rows.
Maybe only swatching will tell me,… but since both shadow wraps are lifted inc R, they are the SAME on RS - not MIRROR images. Wouldn’t mirror imaged turns actually “match” more symmetrically?
Thanks for the instruction. I understand how to do short rows I just don’t understand the concept behind short rows. Can I ask why stop 3 stitches before the “doubled stitch” to do the next shadow wrap? I follow a very similar technique to do my sock heels but every stitch has the shadow wrap. Thanks again. Stay safe and healthy.

You are an excellent knitting teacher, so clear and concise. Thank you 😊
Never in my life have I seen a tutorial that shows a technique for backwards knitters, I always had to reverse engineer the stitches. Thank you!!
Wow, another way to do short rows, so clean and easy and there are no holes. Thanks for the lesson Patty.
BEST description and demo of this technique! Patty, you are the best!
looks so clean, and no holes. I love it.
Thanks for a very clear demonstration!
Vous expliqué bien pour que j'apprenne le point. Merci ❤
Thanks for the extra demo for us backward knitters! :)
Brilliant! 👍🏽

But, how strong are these heels...looks like they would be more prone to getting holes?

Thank you very much ;)

Is this used more for a certain type sock...like lace, for example, since they do not look as durable as the flap type heel?
Patty, can you use this when a pattern that is ribbing and calls for wrap and turn?
Patty, can I use this with 2x2 ribbing that calls for wrap and turn?
Awesome tutorial! Question, can this be used on a cuff down sock to make a heel? There’s no gusset, right?
Do you do this on the same stitch that the wrap and turn calls for? The count changes w German short row- . Thanks
