In this class you will learn about two of the most common short row methods: German Short Rows and the Wrap and Turn. Each method has its pros and cons and can easily be substituted once you know more about them!

We will compare their construction and learn the differences between them, allowing you to choose the best method for your project.

Woolly will demonstrate how to work each, and how they can be adapted for different situtaions. Woolly will also show you how to repair a dropped short row, how to graft them, and how to work them backward.

Short rows are a lot of fun once you’ve grasped the basics, and besides being the two most common methods, these are the most versatile, and you’ll be surprised by how much you can do with them once you’ve learned their secrets!
