How to: Short Rows (Wrap & Turn)

My reference: The Purl Bee

Short rows are used for shaping. In a short row, you'll knit part way into a row, wrap and turn, then knit back the other way.

When Knitting:

1. Keep yarn in back of work, slip next stitch purlwise.

2. Bring yarn forward as if to purl.

3. Slip stitch back onto lefthand needle.

4. Bring yarn to back of work as if to knit.

5. Turn work so back side is facing you.

When Purling:

2. Bring yarn to back of work as if to knit.
