Thank you so much!!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I learned from this video. I am sure that there will be many people who appreciate all of your effort putting this video together . Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Hello Tash, I want you to know that I’m well on my way with de short rows in the right places, you made me happy! I'm in awe with the math, I'm a real Alpha, so figures are a puzzle to me most of the time. This formula opened my eyes and I will keep it as I can use this also in other sweaters where I want to add short rows. I will keep looking at Mostly Knitting, you are lovely and I like your style 😍 Have a nice day and thanks again. Warmly, Elliard 🌷
Thank you! Thank you! I have avoided this Ankers Tee due to lack of short rows but really wanted to make it. Your tutorial is so helpful. Thorough and clear.
Great video! I made the Anker for my grandkids and loved it, but because it didn't have short rows, I didn't want to do it for myself. I like your approach.
I have finished my Anker Tee without the short rows because I couldn’t figure out how to put them in. I definitely enjoyed making this pattern and want to make another, so this tutorial will be my guide. Thank you so much. ❤
Thanks for this explanation and how to! And doing the math! I had discounted the Anker Tee as my first top down knitted garment because it didn’t have short rows. Nice to have a fix!!
Thanks so much for doing the hard work, Tash, I could never figure out the math on my own. I've made a couple of ankers w/o the short rows. Planning another so will see the difference,
Thanks so much Suzanne. It is so hard to get through a tutorial and not say something incorrectly. Thank goodness I can add text boxes to correct myself. ;)
@@mostlyknitting I love maths and formulas really help me. I like Elizabeth zimmerman for that reason. I like watching your podcast because you explain so well in terms I can understand and enjoy. And if you make a little error, so what, you are human so are we. It makes your podcast more real and more enjoyable, thank you.
Of course, I finished my Anker’s Tee (my very first garment!) a few days before this video posted.😂 Still, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ll probably revisit the pattern at some point, and I’ll be glad for the option to add some more shaping.
I hope you enjoy wearing it. Plenty of people have made it without short rows and been happy with it. But if you think you would like to make it again and have the front neck a bit lower, i hope this will help. :)
Hi Tash, got your tutorial just after figuring out a way to add short rows to my Anker cardigan… I went for 5 pairs of short rows after the rib sections (rather than in between the rib sections) while doing the raglan increases. Main difference with your method is that my shortest GSR count is on row#1 and then I gradually increased the count before turning towards the front of the cardigan, whereas you propose the opposite which is to start the short rows closer to the middle front and then reduce them and do the turns closer to the middle back. I was happy with my result (lifted the back 3cm vs the front) but was wondering if it would have been preferable to do as you suggest. Would you happen to know if both methods are equivalent or which one is more suitable. Thanks for all the knowledge you are sharing with us. Best wishes from Paris, Marie (MarieJoFR on Ravelry)
Hi Marie, I dont think it makes a difference to the shaping on the garment as to whether you do increasing or decreasing short rows if you are doing them all at the same time. If i am doing them in the round all at the same time, i actually like to do them increasing as you did as then there is only one short row made on the purl side that gets resolved on the knit side as you begin knitting in the round again and I like the look of the ones resolved as you knit them better. I hope that makes sense. It sounds like you have gotten results which you are happy with which is the main thing. :)
Very easy to follow. I'm wondering if it makes a difference to do the short rows longest to shortest instead of shortest short row to longest? And what would it look like if you had done short rows in pattern in the ribbing bands (creating longer ribbing sections in the back than in the front)?
Thanks Jillian. You definitely could do that. It isnt something that i thought about at the time but I think that is a great idea. I might try that for when i make another Anker. :)
Hi there. I just had a look on ravelry and a number of people have done this so you definitely can. It will probably make your gauge a bit tighter but you can definitely do this and it is a lovely look. :)
Hi there- I’m currently knitting this and would like to add some short rows but I’ve already finished the ribbing neck. I am about to split for the sleeves. In your opinion, can I add more than one short row ( using your formula) at this point ? I am not interested in ripping back. Thanks!
Yes. You are correct. I wrote 39 on the sheet but you may notice in the video I put text boxes on the screen correcting myself and you can see i put 33 into the calculator.
I’ve been wanting to knit this but I prefer short rows. Now I know I can do it! The designer should thank you ;) I sure do! You’re a great teacher!
Thank you so much Sara. :)

You are so welcome! Thanks so much Rosemary. x
Thank you, that was really helpful. Make such a difference. I am now at raglan increases. Happy knitting 🧶.
Thank you Barbara. I’m so glad it helped. :)
Great video! I made the Anker for my grandkids and loved it, but because it didn't have short rows, I didn't want to do it for myself. I like your approach.
Thanks so much. I hope you might consider making one for yourself now. I love wearing it. :)
Thank you for your help and support with Short Row shaping and also for all your tutorials, I find them very helpful.
You are so welcome Marie! :)
I have finished my Anker Tee without the short rows because I couldn’t figure out how to put them in. I definitely enjoyed making this pattern and want to make another, so this tutorial will be my guide. Thank you so much. ❤
Yay! I hope it is helpful for when you decide to make it again. x
@@mostlyknitting it definitely will. Thank you for breaking down the math. That will definitely ensure success.
Oh my goodness, thank you for this tutorial! I will be using it! You are an incredible teacher! ❤
Thanks so much Catherine. I am so glad it was helpful. x
So clever thank you Tash! I will have to look more than once and then give it a try 🙏🍀🌷 greetings E
You’re welcome 😊 Probably best to watch when you are getting ready to knit the short rows and then match it to your numbers. :)
Wow! Incredibly helpful!
Thank you so much!
This is fantastically helpful Tash. Now to put it into practice 😊. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome Annie! :)
Thanks for this explanation and how to! And doing the math! I had discounted the Anker Tee as my first top down knitted garment because it didn’t have short rows. Nice to have a fix!!

Math for the win! Another excellent tutorial. Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome! x
Thank you so much Tash great explanation. Going to cast mine on today ❤️💐
Thanks Maureen. Hope you find it helpful when you get there. x
Thanks so much for doing the hard work, Tash, I could never figure out the math on my own. I've made a couple of ankers w/o the short rows. Planning another so will see the difference,
I hope you like the difference with a lower front neck. :)
Thank you so much for this. I made my first Ankers without and will use this for my next one.
You are so welcome! :)
A very helpful tutorial. Thanks so much for doing the work on this. I’m looking forward to trying it.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you so much! You did an amazing job explaining how you did this! So very much appreciated!😊
Thank you so much. I am so glad you found the explanation clear. :)
I love the math!!!! Thanks for working this out for us.
You're welcome Shelley. :)
Thank you for this tutorial it's so helpful and well presented. ❤

Thank you. I will use your information on my anker tee first then on other patterns.
Glad you will find it helpful. :)
Great information and explanation. Thank you 🙏
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you so much for this. Really well explained. Will definitely be using this when I cast on for mine x
You’re welcome 😊
This is so helpful. Thank you for doing this.
You are so welcome! :)
I also add short rows to Anker tee but I do it before the ribbing at the end of the body. It works perfectly 👍
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing. :)

Hello Tash, I would like to ask you if I can use twisted rib because is neater that my normal rib.
Hi there. I just had a look on ravelry and a number of people have done this so you definitely can. It will probably make your gauge a bit tighter but you can definitely do this and it is a lovely look. :)
@mostlyknitting Thank you for your quick reply!
Thank you so much very intersting!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Hi Joann. You could definitely add a few sets of short rows here before you split for the sleeves. That wouldnt be a problem at all. :)
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much...
You're welcome. :)
Danke, danke, danke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're welcome! :)
Grazie! Molto utile 😊
You're welcome Elena. :)
I think for the 3rd short rows calc it should have been 33/45 x 75
Yes. You are correct. I wrote 39 on the sheet but you may notice in the video I put text boxes on the screen correcting myself and you can see i put 33 into the calculator.
Ah, ok, I was focused on looking at your paper and listening. Best.
🥰🌺🌻🌍
Brilliant! Thank you, Tash. So very helpful. x
Oh good. I am glad it helped. :)
