Short rows are a very interesting technique for shaping your knits. The idea is to turn your knitting and knit back before having reached the end of a row.In German short rows, the pivot stitch is slipped purlwise with the yarn over the needle, creating a double stitch. This double stitch is knitted as one single stitch in the next row.Make sure to pull the yarn to get a tight pivot stitch.I like to use short rows to shape the shoulders on sweaters and cardigans with set-in sleeves. #knittingkni
