Mary Annarella Workshop 2

Thursday, August 5, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Short-Row Shaping

Short Row Shaping
Short Row Shaping

Short rows can be used to help shape a variety of garments and accessories. In garments, they can create horizontal bust darts that keep a fitted sweater from “riding up” in the front; they shape the shoulders of a drop sleeve sweater to eliminate extra bulk at the underarm; and they can be used to raise the back of the neck on round yoked sweater and keep it from stretching laterally. In accessories, short rows can add accents of color to shawls, hats, and mitts.

This 2-hour class explores using short rows primarily in garments. We will explore a few different types of short rows, working flat, as well as adding horizontal bust darts or shoulder shaping. We will also practice adding short rows to the back-neck of a top-down yoked sweater and work a super-deluxe method for transitioning a final short row to working in the round.

Level of Experience: For the adventurous newbie to advanced sweater knitters. Most helpful if you have made a sweater before.

Homework: With your 16” or 24” needle and worsted weight yarn, CORRECTION: CO 36 sts. Knit a few rows in garter. Set aside.

Materials and Supplies Needed for Class:  A tape measure, one skein each of DK and worsted weight yarns, 2 – 16” or 24” circular needles in a size that gives you 20-21 sts/4” in stockinette stitch with the DK yarn and 18-19 sts/4” with the worsted yarn. Gauge isn’t critical for the workshop, but be sure to use a needle that at least gives you a gauge that is close to what is listed.
