Take your knitting skills to the next level with Japanese short-row.

This workshop will give you a comprehensive understanding of the Japanese short-row technique, its benefits, and how it can be applied in different situations. This will include an in-depth look at the fundamentals of the method, which can get quite technical. To put the theory into practice, you will make a swatch and test out five different situations.

By the end of this workshop, you will learn how to use Japanese short rows as a substitute for any other short row method and you will be able to determine what steps to take when you encounter a short row turn in any given scenario.

Mastering this method could open up new possibilities for creating more complex garments, so come along and join this interactive and hands-on session!

Suitable for those with experience in basic knit and purl stitch and an understanding of knitting in the round. Prior experience with short rows is not necessary.

Materials required:

  • Fingering to DK-weight yarn in a light solid colour
  • Needles suitable for your chosen yarn
