After watching your video I was able to incorporate short rows into a pattern where there weren’t any, and it was very successful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video explanation! I am a visual learner and loved your diagram. I also need to know the logic and overall why of a design before starting as the instructions don't make sense otherwise. I wish more people would teach this way!!!

Excellent explanation in order to get the big picture of what you’re trying to accomplish! This was so helpful for me- knitting short rows in a sweater for the first time! Thank you so much! I could even imagine your diagram as I was knitting the short rows!
Merci beaucoup ! Enfin, une explication claire de l'usage des shorts raws
This was a super tutorial. Thank you so much for explaining so well.
Thank you , I have no idea about short rows and you have explained it very clearly and easy to understand , good job
Absolutely comprehensive and user friendly explanation even for beginners!!!
Explaining from the diagram helped me so much. Thank You!
Thank you! Very nice informative video :) I would be helpful to have some more information on the amount of stitches that the short rows need to be spaced apart in different gauges and different places in the yoke.

Often I see short rows mentioned and German short rows specifically but had no clue what they were or when they were used. You explained them perfectly. Bring on the short rows!

Oh that makes me so happy to read! They are really not hard but I think it does helps to understand their purpose.
Wow thanks I really understood a lot more from your handy diagrams! It gives me a visual rightaway so I can imagine what the demonstration of short rows really do. I've seen some short row demonstrations but didn't quite know why people use it, but this explains it really well, thanks!
Excellent video! 🎉so well explained. Thanks to the magic of YT, your work 4 years ago helped me today. Thank you.
This made everything so clear, thank you so much! I’m an advanced beginner and am knitting my first cardigan and I encountered short rows for the first time. Every tutorial I’ve found hasn’t made any sense to me. Your video has been such a help!
Very clear and informative. Thank you!
¡Muchísimas gracias! Excelente explicación para quienes nos iniciamos en el tejido. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much for your clear explanation. I Will try it, God bless you.
This is a brilliant video - thank you for making it!
Thank you so much! I was desperate! I didn't need the Short Rows for the neck but for the underarm and the instruction was quite confusing...I will try now and hopefully it will work out!
Finally, I see how short rows work, and why they are necessary. One of my huge mysteries in knitting has been solved. Thank you!
Thank you very much. Your explanation is clear and help me a lot.
Thank you, it makes so much more sense now with the diagram!
You are an excellent teacher, you explained detail and clearly with drawing picture, I watched so many videos about German short rows but I never can picture how it looked before I started even though with pattern. I like that you provided a little drawing with explaination of why ,how .I got confidence before I start because I know if I am doing right or wrong. Thank you so much and appreciated your show. ❤
This is the video I have been looking for lol I am not intimidated by short rows per se, but I do want to understand how to know where they should be and how they should look when done properly. Thanks for this video!
thank you! the graphic was SUPER helpful!
You got one more subscriber...!!! BRAVO...!!! This is the most logical way to process short rows...!!! Instead of having beginner knitters, and old ones too for that matter, to scramble their brains building the back of their whatever knitting and calculating to no end... No more despair...!!! Now, I have something else that I want to point out and you can express it better than I can and show it to your followers... And it is the top down sweater front knitting, in much the same way, for those seniors or "young ones" with a beer=belly... Love you and do keep on knitting and posting...!!!
I was knitting a cardigan and didn’t like the shaping (formed by short rows) on the back lower half of the sweater. I did exactly as you show, drew out the rows to understand how that shape could be altered. It came out perfectly. This really helps understand short rows. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! I finally understand the purpose of German short rows!
Extremely helpful! Very clear too...
What a fun thought: using stockinette instead of short rows to increase length. I love that! Thanks for this!
Thanks for sharing! Your row differences between the garter and regular, without short rows, is ingenious. Perhaps that will work with any stitch patterns with similar compression.
Thank you for clear explanations.
Thanks a lot, the best explication and explanation I have found so far, Again, thanks😊🌺🥀🌹
Very clear instruction. Thank you for sharing!

Oh that's so good to hear! I'm glad you found it helpful.
Thank you so much, was working on short rows when I found your podcast.
Incredible GOOD explication. !!! Logic and easy
This is by FAR the most helpful video I have found on short rows. As an ambitious beginner I had no clue at all as to what a short row was, what it was used for and how it appears in a pattern. Up to this point I have avoided patterns that include short rows. Notice that includes most sweaters, tees and even shawls. After viewing this video and the how to do a German short row I think I am ready to give it a Go. It may takes many attempts but at least I can now try knowing what they are actually for. Many thanks to the fiber artist who made this super helpful video ♥️
Thanks, this was a great explanation! Now I understand!
Thank you for your clear explanation, I was totally in the dark, but now I understand.
Great explanation.Thanks
Thank you for sharing this very informative tutorial!

Thank you so very much . You have explained why we do them and how to . The best explanation I have seen so far. Not just how to do the actual short row method . I have been questioning when to to stop and when to pick up the short row. Everyone should watch this video .

Omg that garter stitch hack is genius! Great tips
I cannot begin to tell you how helpful your schematic was in explaining short rows so that I could understand the concept. There apparently was an error in the pattern that I am working and your drawing helped me understand how to fix it! thank you so much!

I have been attempting to make a sweater with a raglan German Short rows and I’m determined to get this stitch pattern for my garment. I made up my mind to learn different techniques.
Thank you very much! It has been so helpful! now I understand
I almost never comment on videos, but the I'm going through my first ever use of short rows and this was the only video that helped me understand. Was so close to giving up the project. Thank you so so much for such a clear explanation!

Thank you for this. I bought a pattern for a sweater and had never encountered short rows and it was heartbreaking for me since I couldn't figure out what I was doing. I don't want to let short rows scare me. This was very helpful. Thank you.

Can I just give you my heartfelt thanks?! I was so stumped by short rows - my pattern specified Japanese short rows til I learnt they could be interchangeable and I just could -not- wrap my head around them. Your instructions at the very beginning were my light bulb moment! I am saving this video for future reference! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this video! I'm an intermediate knitter who learned knitting entirely via YT, so recently I was feeling I lack some kind of conceptual, fundamental knitting knowledge that lies underneath specific techniques and other practical skills. Like, I have already used short rows a couple of times while following a sock knitting pattern so I sort of know what they do/how I do them on a certain level. But I still don't know what exactly short rows are to begin with, precisely what they are for, what kind of effect they achieve, when knitters are supposed to consider using short rows, etc. Your video was exactly what I was looking for!
