Description:
Short rows are when you stop mid row, turn your work and knit back.  They are used to put gussets in socks heels, darts in sweaters, a slopes on a shoulder, or create designs by inserting shapes.  When those shapes are different colors - the creative options are endless.  They are easy to do, but require using a special technique to prevent a hole in your work at the turn.  

In this class we will focus on using short rows to make colorful designs.  The three examples shown above will be discussed.  We will deconstruct the patterns and explore knitting tips that will make staying accurate easy and simple.  We will also talk about color - picking colors with enough contrast to highlight patterns, letting variegated yarns make color changes, and how to add and blend in colors.

Be prepared to experiment and make stunningly beautiful projects.  ​
Prerequisite Skills:  Basic knitting experience (CO, BO, knit/purl)
​ Key Techniques Taught: 
  • Wrap & turn (w&t) method for preventing holes when turning your work while knitting a short row​​
  • Make one right (M1r) and make one left (M1l)
  • Selecting colors to create a design
  • Changing colors and carrying colors at the edge
  • Blending colors
  • Using variegated yarns
  • Using markers to make counting easier
  • (Optional) I-Cord Bind Off

  • stitch markers (quantity will depend upon project selected)

Class Design:  ​This class is open to all skill levels, which means individual's progress will depend upon prior experience.
​
First Session: 
  • ​What are short rows?  When and why would you use them to shape an item?  How can short rows can be used to add design elements?
  • Overview of the three class projects (each participant will pick one to make during the course).  We will deconstruct each pattern so you can find a project that matches your skill level and time/cost constraints.
