This will be the last in this series for the time being. This week, I look at Japanese short rows.
This method looks really nice in stockinette stitch. In part because of the slipped stitch, and in part because of the minimal yarn used in the “wrap”. Marking the thread but not wrapping keeps that loop really small. It’s fiddly to work, though- and you’ll need removeable stitch markers or bobby pins (or scrap yarn) to mark the working yarn at the turning locations.
I am a TKGA certified Master Knitter, Tech Editor and Knitting Instructor. I am also a current Co-Chair of the TKGA Master Hand Knitting committee, the managing Editor of the K2TOG newsletter, a member of the Cast On editorial committee, and a current instructor of the TKGA Professional Knitter certification. I have been designing knitwear and teaching knitting since 2007. My family keeps me busy, since I'm a stay-at-home and homeschooling mom of 2 boys. When I am not knitting, designing or teaching (my boys or knitters!) I can be found spinning yarn, reading or in the outdoors camping and hiking with my family.
