Thank you! I work the ribbing the "English" way because my continental purling is terrible 😂 It's awkward and the tension is all over the place. My ribbing was always quite untidy until I discovered knitting through the back loop. It made a real difference for me.

Thank you. Very clear instructions. Can you point me to where I can find more information about short rows when designing your own pattern? Like the placement and number of stitches? This is new to me and thanks to your video I learned that it needs to be 1-1.5in wide. Thank you 😊

Thank you! I'm glad it's helpful. I don't know of any tutorials for designing your own pattern I'm afraid, but I would say that for me, I tend to start the short rows at the back 1/3 of the neckband, and then work to desired depth. I hope that helps!
@gmabarb7813 Жыл бұрын
Your instructions are so clear. Thank you. My issue is my pattern doesn’t include short rows but I want to use them to lower the front neckline. Not quite sure how to count stitches to make it even. It looks like you knit past pick up of the double stitch for about 4 stitches. I’m thinking I should start the short rows about an inch inside the halfway mark of the neckline. Does that make sense?
@unwind_knitwear
Жыл бұрын
I'm glad they were helpful! I normally suggest to start the short row shaping from the back third of the neckhole. So assuming your Beginning of Round marker (BOR) is positioned at the centre back of the neck, you would want to calculate 1/6 of the total sts you have, knit that number of stitches from BOR and work your first short row turn there. Then on the wrong side, purl back to BOR, then purl 1/6 of the stitch count from BOR and work your second short row turn there. After that I tend to space out short row turns every 4-5 stitches until you reach the depth you want at the back of the neck. I hope that helps!

So...after the last row of processing the double stitches you would make the separations for sleeves,back and front? I’m not following any pattern. Just want a simple top down creation of my own but this time with short rows. I’m a little confused.
@unwind_knitwear

The short row shaping here would be best used at the start of a circular yoke construction. So from this point you would need to knit until the piece reaches past your underarms, with 4-5 increase rounds which would increase the number of stitches to fit around your body.

I think you would do the front/back/sleeve separations after the last row processing if you were making a raglan sweater.

When you work the last double stich and you work a stich in the loose loop does that affect the stich count if you are following a pattern?
@unwind_knitwear
Жыл бұрын
There shouldn't be any change in the stitch count with this method. You work the double stitch with a K2together, then you work that looser loop with the next stitch on your needles, not on its own, so you shouldn't be creating any extra stitches.

Thank you! I’m trying to add this shaping to an existing pattern that doesn’t have neck shaping. You said 1-1.5 inches of short rows for an adult, but what about for a 2 or 4 year old? Should I just halve that? Thanks again!!

Yes I would have thought that around 0.5-0.75" of short row shaping would be sufficient for a 2-4 year old.

Once you finish your DS and knit a round, is the side you knit back on supposed to be a row longer or did I mess something up?

is there a method or calculation so that I can add short rows for a pattern that doesn't call for one?
@unwind_knitwear
Жыл бұрын
You would need to know how many rounds you are working per inch. Then you would need to calculate how many rounds would be required for ~1.5" of depth. For example, if you were working 7 rounds per inch, you would need ~10 rounds for ~1.5" of depth. The number of rounds required is the same as the number of short row turns you would need to work in total. So in the example above, you would need to work 10 short row turns around the neck - 5 rounds either side of BOR (beginning of round). You would then need to think about how you're going to space out those turns. I recommend placing the first turn less than a quarter of the way round the neckband, and spacing each turn ~0.5-1" apart. Here you would need to use your stitch gauge to work out how many stitches that might be. A bit of a long answer, sorry! I hope it's helpful.
