Beyond Wrap & Turn (W&T): Short Row Variations

Learn from Ruth Nguyen, knitwear designer and short row geek.

If you’ve ever wanted to go beyond the wrap and turn and explore the incredible world of knitting short rows, then this course is for you! Most of us have our first short row experience with the wrap and turn, but this may not necessarily be the best choice for every project. They can distort stockinette stitch or interrupt stripes (among other things), and some knitters just don’t enjoy working it.

In this course, we’ll be going over four alternatives to wrap and turn short rows:

• Yarn over short rows
• Twin stitch short rows
• Japanese short rows 
• German short rows

Also included are tips and tricks on substituting short row styles in your projects, and when the W&T can be an ideal choice. This course does assume that you’ve already learned to knit wrap and turn short rows; if you need a refresher, review the SOS W&T Short Rows Tutorial.

Share your new short row knits with us! And questions and chat is taking place over at the SOS forums, plus tag your Instagram posts with #sosknitting and #schoolofsweetgeorgia!
