Short Rows Class is a hands-on introduction to one of knitting’s most useful shaping techniques. Inspired by the Icon Wrap, a beautiful piece created with short rows, in this class, you’ll make a swatch to practice the technique step by step. Once you feel comfortable, you can apply what you’ve learned to casting on for your own Icon Wrap — or to future projects like shawls, sweaters, and sock heels. This is a great skills class if you’ve seen short rows in patterns and wondered what they mean. Afterward, you’ll recognize them, understand how they work, and feel confident using them on your own. What you’ll learn What short rows are and how they shape fabric How to avoid gaps at turning points How short rows create wedges, curves, and sculpted shapes How to apply the technique to wraps, garments, and accessories Project A practice swatch to learn the technique (perfect prep for the Icon Wrap) Materials 2 colors of worsted-weight yarn and US 8 24-inch circular needles Skill level Comfortable beginner and up — you should know how to knit, purl, cast on, and bind off.
