German Short Rows

This video tutorial demonstrates how German short rows are worked, including right and wrong side turns and picking up the pulled-over stitches when you return to them in the fabric.

Patterns that use this technique include:

Fade Out Socks

Feet lying sole-to-sole wearing bright green, blue, and purple socks with a multicoloured stripe between the colours.

Kettle Lakes Socks

Side and back view of feet wearing red and white socks with distorted, oval-shaped pooling patterns.

Tana Socks

Side view of blue and red socks with shifting and pooling colour patterns and subtle surface texture.
