Shadow Wrap Short Rows

In this video, I demonstrate the short row technique called "Shadow Wraps". This technique turns stitches into a "shadow" stitch as opposed to wrapping the stitch. "Twin" and "Triplet
stitches are created before turning your work in short row shaping.
This technique creates short row stitches with a bit more heft to them, making them great for use on your sock heels. No heel flap is used in this heel technique. It's great for sock beginners and also for adding a heel to an existing tube sock pattern that you might have laying around.
This is a fairly long video but it will walk you through all the stages of the short row shaping as well as how to close up those stitches as you create the heel cup.
This technique can replace basically any short row technique in your sock pattern . Try it out! I hope you all love it as much as I do.

Hi there, I knitted a sock a few months ago, well saw your instruction which i knitted at present time, and came across your instruction with your heel wrapping method,I LOVE IT SO EASY and no spaces nice and easy, with much better result,than other methods. Now I will cut out the other heel, and now I will only use your method. If I cannot find the instructions for the heel inset , I will unravel the sock,and knit the whole sock, it is worth to do the whole sock over. Congratulation for your instruction!!! and thank you,Love&Light 12/17/2022!!!

Hello wonderful lady 😘 just gotta tell you,,for yrs i tried to knitt socks with no luck at all 😳so many ways to make them i got upset and very discouraged. So I kept crocheting and loom knitting wish it's wonderful,it's just as beautiful..But in the back of my head,it's always been like iiii got learn how to knitt theeem lol so it's almost 12 o'clock at night I'd bumped into ur wonderful tutorial and guesssss what 😬😀for the first time in history 🤣well at least in mind,,I'm able to learn how to maaaaake a heel,so now I can make all the socks iiii want 😬😀🤣,. Sorry you probably think crazy,but you have no idea how thankful I am of ur video,,,where ever you are, hugs and kisses lady 😘

Hello Belia! I don’t think you’re crazy at all. I learned to knit through KZfaq so I totally understand seeing a certain video that just makes it all click for you. Thank you for your very sweet comment and I am thrilled that you were able to create your first sock. There’s no feeling like it. Best and happy knitting!

Excellent tutorial clearly explaining the method. My only problem was that I'm doing heel and toe in contrasting colors. Following your introduction on where to return to the main color of the sock put my yarn in the wrong position. I had to cut the main color yarn to pick it up again. I should have picked it up before going across the last row of picking up the shadow wraps.

This is the easiest short row technique I’ve tried. Thank you so much!! Very clear and detailed tutorial. Can this method just be substituted in for another (like German or W&T) short row in sock patterns or are there adjustments that have to be made?

If using a contrast color, does this method make your working (or main yarn) on the opposite side of the heel? Meaning ends to weave in?

@glel4530 4 жыл бұрын

This is a technique I would love to try. In your tutorial you speak of multiples of 6 but for my sock (very basic pair I am trying) I have 32 stitches for the heel flap. 32 is not a multiple of 6, can i do 11/10/11 or would 10 be to many stitches for the unworked stitches in the center of the heel. Thanks for the advice

@Whiletheyplay 4 жыл бұрын

Hello! For a 32 st heel, I would suggest a 11/10/11 ratio. You could also do a 10/12/10 but that would give you a shorter heel cup and a wider heel bottom. I hope this helps and I would love to see your finished sock if you'd like to share later. 😉

LOVE your tutorial. I am knitting toes up socks and it Will be my first Shadow wrapped hell. So where do I start my hell. At what lenght of my foot. Merci! Johanne

@Whiletheyplay 3 жыл бұрын

Typically, I start the heel when my sock reaches 3” less than my overall foot length. For example, if my foot length is 10”, I start my heel when my sock measures 7”. Hope this helps!

@jenbell7041 2 жыл бұрын

Is there a way to make this heel less deep? When I knit it too down it’s got too much at the back bottom of my heel. My stitch count was 32 so I did 10,12,10 Should I put more in the middle section or less?

@Whiletheyplay 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Jen! Yes, for a more shallow heel, I would work fewer short wraps and leave more stitches in the middle. So maybe try 9, 14, 9.
