Short Row Skills

Cost: $45/2hrs
Teacher: Kate Atherley
Dates: Tuesday, November 5th from 6-8pm

“Wrap & Turn” is not a dance move, it’s a fabulous way to create shapes with your knitting. Short rows are used for sock heels, they’re common in shawls to create, and to create ruffles. In this class we’ll discuss three or four common methods of working short rows (and hiding them, just as important!). We’ll discuss their use in bust shaping to custom fit a garment and we’ll share a no-fail recipe for a tidy and elegant short row sock heel. Last but not least, we’ll show you how to convert a shaped garment shoulder to use short rows for easier seaming.

Skill Level: Advanced beginner/intermediate
Materials Required: 4.5 mm needles and scrap yarn in a light color; a set of removable stitch markers (or coilless safety pins). We will have some handy that you can borrow, if necessary.
