Description
German Short Rows involve no wraps, pins, or other accessories. At the short-row turn, the yarn is slipped to create a double stitch. This double stitch is a real ugly duckling, visibly bigger than all the surrounding stitches. However, just as the ugly duckling transformed into a beautiful swan, the double stitch, when worked in a subsequent row, transforms, filling the short-row gap beautifully on the front and back of your work.
Learn to work German Short Rows in stockinette and garter stitch as you make a coffee koozie. Learn how to fix them if the unthinkable happens and your double stitch goes rogue. Finally, the class will also cover places to use German Short Rows, how they compare to other short-row methods, and how to substitute them in patterns, including a new side-by-side comparison of substituting in a short-row heel.
