Knitting: German Short Rows

Welcome to another exciting adventure with Rebecca of Sun Dragon Art & Fiber in Brevard, NC on our Sun Dragon Tips & Tricks channel! Today we are talking about German Short Rows, a wonderful alternative to what in the US could be called the "traditional wrap and turn." I like W&T (wrap and turn) for garter, the fancy name for knitting every row flat, where you have the front and back of knit stitches on both sides, they can hide your wraps. In stockinette, were you are knitting a row and purling a row (when knitting flat), and all your knit stitches or "v-necks" are on one side and all your purls or "turtlenecks" are on the other side, I much prefer German short rows or German wraps to having to pick up the wrap from a W&T to make the work look smooth. Here is my video of how to turn the instructions of a W&T into a German wrap.
