These short rows are used in several patterns in the book Madder Anthology 2 by Carrie Bostick Hoge. They can of course also replace other short row techniques, and I must admit that I now use this technique almost exclusively. To me, Carol Sunday’s technique produces a much neater and less visible result than other types of short rows. Try them to see what you think!
1: Marking the short row
On the right side:
Knit to the end of the short row, including the stitch after which you will turn.
Turn work as usual.
Take a piece of waste yarn in a contrasting colour, and place it over the working yarn.
Purl the first stitch on the left hand needle. If you pull on your waste yarn, the loop around the stitch at the end of the short row becomes visible. Leave it alone for now!
Continue working. The waste yarn that serves as marker sits quietly at the bottom of the last stitch in the short row.
On the wrong side:
Purl to the end of the short row, including the stitch just before turning. Put another piece of wast yarn over the working yarn
Turn and continue working on the right side.
2: Resolving the short rows
We are going to get back to all those stitches left unworked.
On the right side:
Knit to the end of the short row, including the last, marked stitch. Pull on both ends of the waste yarn to make the loop visible. Place the loop on the left needle.
Remove the waste yarn and knit the loop together with the next stitch (the one at the arrow).
Continue working your row, and admire the result.
On the wrong side:
There is an extra step to ensure that the loop that you pull up with the waste yarn will settle on the wrong side of the work, where it won’t bother anyone.
Purl to the end of the short row, including the marked stitch. Slip the next stitch to the right needle.
As previously, pull on both ends of the waste yarn and place the loop on the left needle. Return the slipped stitch to the left needle. It now sits just before the loop.
Purl the slipped stitch and the loop together.
Continue working and turn to admire!
