I have done this successfully on a much bulkier top down sweater and now am clear that I can use the same process on the bottom up pattern.

Thank you so much for this explanation. I think you've answered the question I've sought for years, but I'd like to be sure. It seems you are saying that typically: -All short rows start 5 stitches in from the edge of the shoulder seam -Then every work over to 5 sts on the other end and repeat -I only have to do a total of six turns, 3 on each side of the center Depending on gauge and yarn weight, or creativity, I can do more or less turns and increase the number of stitches in between. I know this is a lot of info, sorry for that. I hope you do respond and tell if I've finally gotten it right. Like so many, I've spent countless hours trying to get this right so I can make my own sweaters properly.
@knittingthestash Жыл бұрын
Hi Bernadette--just getting back to comments on this video, so apologies for the delay! Answers to your questions aren't going to be simple. It really depends on your sweater construction and gauge. In this case, I started about 1" from the shoulder seams and worked as many (short) rows as needed to make up about 1-1.5" of fabric. I hope that helps! I found designers such as Isabell Kraemer's patterns are a great place to look for how GSR work on a variety of gauges and styles. If you're working top down, the method is slightly different, but has similar principles.

this has been something that has baffled me and now I have a much clearer idea how to do it, thanks so much, you are a good teacher! I think Ive seen some patterns start the short rows at the front of the neck and go all the way around the back to the other side of the neck, etc.... in what case would that be needed? I wonder if you would ever do a class that we could purchase, I think that would be great! I have knit 4 sweaters but theres still some mystery to some parts of knitting them at times. thank you Melissa! Oh and buttonbands are another baffling thing for me... I have had my Rusty cardigan on a needle waiting to start the buttonbands for several months now, Im not sure if I picked up too many or not enough stitches and its hard to see with the dark chocolate yarn I have so Ive been procrastinating... 🤭 dont want a wobbly or too tight buttonband
@knittingthestash3 жыл бұрын
Great idea on the button bands, Amanda--I'll add it to my list! And yes, you could use short rows around the neck to raise a circular collar (like a shawl collar, for example) I have always liked that technique :) As for the button band: go for picking up every 2/3 or 3/4 stitches on the way up and you should be golden! And, when you bind off, consider a stretchy BO that won't pull the bands in. I usually mix a regular BO with a super stretchy BO every few stitches for a nice effect :)

I’m assuming it was because your shoulders had 15 stitches and you wanted 6 rows which was about an inch of fabric. Maybe I missed this? Can you have different increments based on gauge and how deep of short row fabric?
