How to knit German short rows

Learn how to work German short rows. This easy short row technique doesn’t require any special tools or notions. If you struggle to get a neat result with wrap and turn rows you might want to try this method. You’ll learn how to create double stitches at the beginning of right and wrong side rows, and how to resolve them on both the knit and purl sides. German short rows can easily be substituted for other methods and the video covers how to substitute them in a pattern that’s written for wrap and turn short rows. If your pattern is written for wrapless, Japanese or Sunday short rows, simply work the number of stitches given in your pattern before turning.

All the tutorials I’ve seen have never explain how to resolve the double stitches properly. I think I’ve been doing that wrong the whole time I’ve been doing short rows . Thank you for this detailed explanation.

[@conniecunningham6985]

WOW you are first person who has actually explained what German short rows do and your tutorial is nice and slow enough to comprehend exactly what you are doing THANK YOU so much. Connie 🤗👏🏻

I agree with the other comments - this is the best explanation of how to do this. The result is so tidy - it's almost like magic. Thank you, thank you! And how adorable are you!

This is the best tutorial on German Short Rows that I have found. It is clear and to the point and the different sections are labelled. Thank you!!!

So many tutorials stop after the turn with 0 explanation of what to do with the double stitches at the end. Thank you SO much, it's cleared so much up!!

Thank you for such a nice tutorial. I love the sweater you’re wearing. Did you make it? If so, what pattern did you use?

[@willxoxw]

I struggle with my twin stitches being bumpy, do you have a troubleshooting video for GSRs or any tips? I literally can’t tighten the twinned stitches any more than I already do and it’s left me baffled and frustrated 😢

[@tracyaa1081]

Thank you for this !! It was so helpful and easy to follow! My knitting looks much much better. What is the pattern that you are wearing in the tutorial?

How to knit a jumper from abow

[@gardenglory6624]

she's an English knitter. not continental. Im an English knitter too. glad to see this. Because I've had so many knitters try to force me to knit with my left hand. Im not a left hand knitter, just like im not a left hand HAND writer. I write with my right hand, end of story. yet, my friend who is RIGHT hand for everything is a left hand knitter. You are born being whatever hand your brain chooses to knit with and neither one is wrong.
