Great video. Not too fast, not excruciatingly slow. Clear audio, clear video.

This was the best tutorial! I just cast on my first test knit and used this video to learn GSRs to ensure I knit the garment as the designer intended. I had no problems, no frogging! This was clear and simple and I will be sharing with anyone who wants to learn this technique. Thank you so much!

Thank you for using the word tug! It's such a good description of what you gotta do to pull up the legs of the stitch you just slipped.

Yes the word ‘TUG’ is very important. Thank you. Ann

Thanks for your no nonsense approach to German short rows. I finally understand the subtleties!

[riveranalyse]

Great tutorial! I've never done this before and have seen so many notes by people struggling with German Short Rows that I felt intimidated and thought they must be super hard. You've made it look easy and I'll definitely not avoid patterns where they're included!

I just started working on the hood for a toddler sweater which called for the wrap and turn technique. The seam at the top would have theme been done using the mattress stitch. As I'm working across my final row, going over all of the W&T's, I saw the holes. Then, after watching many videos for the German & Japanese Short Rows, I pulled out 42 rows of work.

I've just completed one side of the hood after watching your demonstration and it's just beautiful! No holes, no visible, bulky strands of yarn on the wrong side of the work, just, smooth and oh so neat. Thank you so much!

Excellent ! The part showing to adapt from a w&t pattern is useful ! Thank you !!!

[helencaudill]

Thank you for this very clear tutorial!!! I know I will use this many times as I learn to do this in patterns. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this tutorial! I am working on a sweater that calls for w&t. and I have never been successful with w&t, I always get little holes. I appreciate you explaining how to adapt the pattern by adding a stitch. Very helpful!!

[emmynelson]

Thank you Jackie. I really like how these shorts rows are working on my wrap and much prefer it to wrap and turn.

[missmaria]

This was sooo helpful. I successfully knitted German short rows for the first time in a fingering weight yarn. I cannot even see them. I'm grateful. 😊

[scambugger]

Thank you! Your instructions are some of the only on flat knitting and were very helpful.

[redwingedfiber]

[suetupper]

Omg!!!...yarn is other way for a half and half shawl...im so excited!...thank you!

[cindychilds]

Thank you for this very clear tutorial! I’m going to frog a wrap and turn short row set-in sleeve knit with a thin yarn in a loose gauge and redo with German short rows. I just completed a practice swatch and am so happy with the superior result!

Thank you for your excellent demonstration and explanation of German short rows and how to adapt a Wrap and Turn pattern. It took a few attempts but I now understand and can complete my jumper. Yay!🤗🥰

[janemcgann]

Thank you so much for helping me to adapt the W&T to German shirt row. I’m working on spin and ran into all kinds of problems picking up the wraps. I can’t wait to try this.

Thank you so much! I just ripped back and redid according to your perfect instructions. It came out beautifully ❤
