Shadow Wrap Short Rows
ฝัง

- In this video, I demonstrate the short row technique called "Shadow Wraps". This technique turns stitches into a "shadow" stitch as opposed to wrapping the stitch. "Twin" and "Triplet
stitches are created before turning your work in short row shaping.
This technique creates short row stitches with a bit more heft to them, making them great for use on your sock heels. No heel flap is used in this heel technique. It's great for sock beginners and also for adding a heel to an existing tube sock pattern that you might have laying around.
This is a fairly long video but it will walk you through all the stages of the short row shaping as well as how to close up those stitches as you create the heel cup.
This technique can replace basically any short row technique in your sock pattern . Try it out! I hope you all love it as much as I do. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Hi there, I knitted a sock a few months ago, well saw your instruction which i knitted at present time, and came across your instruction with your heel wrapping method,I LOVE IT SO EASY and no spaces nice and easy, with much better result,than other methods. Now I will cut out the other heel, and now I will only use your method. If I cannot find the instructions for the heel inset , I will unravel the sock,and knit the whole sock, it is worth to do the whole sock over. Congratulation for your instruction!!! and thank you,Love&Light 12/17/2022!!!
Excellent tutorial! The best one by far that I have seen on the shadow short row heel! You are a very good teacher and I appreciate you taking the time to make and share this video!
Wow, thank you! I’m so glad it was helpful. Thanks for your feedback!
You made this easy, thank you
Great tutorial! Honestly the best of the dozen or so that I watched. Thank-you so much ❤
I appreciate this video so much. This tutorial is perfect in the very best way to show how to do this technique. I was successful because of your video. Thank you so much
I’m so happy to have found this technique! Thank you for your clear instructions.
I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for your comment.
I regret that I have only one like to give for this video! I am taking a Zoom sock class next week that uses this technique and I am so glad I found your video. You have a great teaching process and I have subscribed to your channel. PLUS, continental style! Fantabulous!
I have been knitting socks for years and never done short rows as I just couldn't get my head round them it was easier to just do heel flap but I have actually mastered it now by watching this thank you so much a very good clear video.
Thank you so much!
You showed it best for me and my sock can finally be knitted.
Kind regards from Hungary
Glad I could help!

I am soooo excited. I knew there was a sock heel for me and this is it. I did it! I missed a stitch but I have it down. Thank you again :)
Great video! Clear and concise! Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail...❤️
Thank you so much for making this so clear!
Fabulous tutorial. You are a great teacher!
What an excellent tutorial!! Thank you! I'm going to check out other vids of yours...I didn't know you made them!
Hi Thank you so much That you share this video 😁🥰
Hello wonderful lady 😘 just gotta tell you,,for yrs i tried to knitt socks with no luck at all 😳so many ways to make them i got upset and very discouraged. So I kept crocheting and loom knitting wish it's wonderful,it's just as beautiful..But in the back of my head,it's always been like iiii got learn how to knitt theeem lol so it's almost 12 o'clock at night I'd bumped into ur wonderful tutorial and guesssss what 😬😀for the first time in history 🤣well at least in mind,,I'm able to learn how to maaaaake a heel,so now I can make all the socks iiii want 😬😀🤣,. Sorry you probably think crazy,but you have no idea how thankful I am of ur video,,,where ever you are, hugs and kisses lady 😘
Hello Belia!
I don’t think you’re crazy at all. I learned to knit through TH-cam so I totally understand seeing a certain video that just makes it all click for you. Thank you for your very sweet comment and I am thrilled that you were able to create your first sock. There’s no feeling like it. Best and happy knitting!
Thank you for sharing
I love the finished look of this heel. Great instructions. I can't wait to try it.
Have fun!
Wow! I needed this video. Very well explained. Thank you 😊
Love this heel and tutorial, thank you!
Excellent tutorial clearly explaining the method. My only problem was that I'm doing heel and toe in contrasting colors. Following your introduction on where to return to the main color of the sock put my yarn in the wrong position. I had to cut the main color yarn to pick it up again. I should have picked it up before going across the last row of picking up the shadow wraps.
Great and clear explanation. 🤔 Thank you for sharing this. 😉
Thank you for your help 👌🏻
I loved your video. I always have holes no matter what method I tried. I followed yours and the heel came out perfectly. I had 32 stitches and decided then using 11-10-11. Thanks again.
Yay!!! I'm so glad to hear that.
Really like this short row method!
Glad you like it!
Very usefull, thank you!!!
Every time i see this heel, i want to make a little coin purse using this technique! lol
excellent tutorial - i knit magic loop so i appreciate you demonstrating it as such - thank you
Thank you so much. You made it so easy to understand. I will be trying this soon, how far from the back of the heel should I start this technique?
This is the easiest short row technique I’ve tried. Thank you so much!! Very clear and detailed tutorial. Can this method just be substituted in for another (like German or W&T) short row in sock patterns or are there adjustments that have to be made?
Uau!
Lindo!
Great tutorial. Do you have a tutorial for the toe or s dock for this and the toe?
Maravilhoso 🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'd enjoyed ur video, is actually understood everything,, normally i have trouble, but the way you did it really help me alot.....one briefly question,, what needle size did you use? 😐
If using a contrast color, does this method make your working (or main yarn) on the opposite side of the heel? Meaning ends to weave in?
How did I end up with all the right amount of twin stitches but i end up with the twin stitches on the left needle and the normal and twin on the right needle
This is a technique I would love to try. In your tutorial you speak of multiples of 6 but for my sock (very basic pair I am trying) I have 32 stitches for the heel flap. 32 is not a multiple of 6, can i do 11/10/11 or would 10 be to many stitches for the unworked stitches in the center of the heel. Thanks for the advice
Hello! For a 32 st heel, I would suggest a 11/10/11 ratio. You could also do a 10/12/10 but that would give you a shorter heel cup and a wider heel bottom. I hope this helps and I would love to see your finished sock if you'd like to share later. 😉
Do you have written instructions for the shadow heel?
LOVE your tutorial. I am knitting toes up socks and it Will be my first Shadow wrapped hell. So where do I start my hell. At what lenght of my foot. Merci!
Johanne
Typically, I start the heel when my sock reaches 3” less than my overall foot length. For example, if my foot length is 10”, I start my heel when my sock measures 7”. Hope this helps!
@@Whiletheyplay Merci beaucoup et à bientôt.
Bonne journée. Moi je retourne tricoter pour commencer mon 1er talon 🤞🤞🥰
Intriguing, though German short rows still seem to be the simplest short row technique
I notice this is on a toe up sock, would it be the same for cuff down?
Is there a way to make this heel less deep? When I knit it too down it’s got too much at the back bottom of my heel. My stitch count was 32 so I did 10,12,10 Should I put more in the middle section or less?
Hi Jen!
Yes, for a more shallow heel, I would work fewer short wraps and leave more stitches in the middle. So maybe try 9, 14, 9.
Y you turned shadow wrap stitch to triple stitch ..I didnt got it ..
Why 3 wraps
