This is the clearest, most concise explanation and demonstration of Japanese short rows that I have looked at! I listened, watched, and read several others - but this one is the best. Finally “I think I’ve got it!” and my back of neck shaping looks smooth and tidy. THANK YOU!

Bookmarked. Perfect tutorial. Clear, straigtforward, knit and purl explained. Love it!

Fantastic, as a beginner you really need to watch alot of videos to find one that clearly shows what to do like this one.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! I've watched the "wrap and turn" method and was so confused, but this method looks much easier with less hassle.

Why can't I like this tutorial not more than one time? Perfect ❤

I need to echo what is said below. This video is fantastic. I am knitting my first sweater, a total newbie. I have attempted Japanese short rows twice on this sweater and kept getting gaps on the purl side at the W&T. No video that I watched prior explained how to properly close the gap on the purl side like you do here. I just kept "rewinding" this video and following it until all my short rows were completed. They look fantastic!! Thank you. - from A new knitter and subscriber.

This is such a cleaner way of knitting the short rows, you can barely tell anything out of ordinary was done. Fabulous. Im making so many mistakes with normal short rows. This is much simpler. Thank you for the video

The is by far the best instruction for the Japanese short row technique I've ever seen. Thank you BasixKnitting!

Excellent explanation of how to knit Japanese short rows. Thank you

Thank you so much. I am a new at this technique and this video has saved my kimono project.

this is so easy compared to other videos on same topic! thank you!

This is the best video for this technique that I have found. Thank you!

This is the easiest and clearest way I have ever seen to show the short row knitting. Thank you so much 😊

This is just an outstanding video in every way. Your video skills are as great as your teaching skills and that's really saying something. Thank you for doing this and for the generosity to share it.

One of the best videos for this technique. Congrats 👏🏻👏🏻 I hope you add more.

Excellent tutorial--clear, succinct, very helpful in doing a short row sleeve cap, which I hadn't done before. Thx!

so much better than wrap & turn ... very clear presentation (verbal & visual) of the technique. thank-you so much!

Great demonstration of the technique. Have to give it a go!

Wow, you make it look so easy! Thank you!

Bellissimo video, semplice. Tecnica fantastica. Grazie

Thank you for this video. You've made it very clear, both verbally and visually, how to do this.

Great video, really well explained thank you very much. I was completely taken back when i saw 'short rows' had no idea what it meant!! But this explains it very well, best ive found. Great job and thanks :)

Thank you so much! This is so clear and I and my frustrating sweater thank you. 😊

Great video on Japanese short rows....you made It seem easy.

Thank you! This is very helpful.

Thank you so much!

Правильный и качественный мастер класс!!! 👌👍

Best explanation so far. Bx

do you also use this method when working in the round? the first wrap or method i use always turns out smooth and lovely and the second never picks up as nicely. can you recommend a tutorial on how this is done very cleanly? if that exists.

Wonderful!.... queda invisible Beautiful 🤷‍♀️ Desde Chile 🇨🇱Thanks 🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's a very clear, easy and helpfull method! How do I this in 1 x 1 ribbing?

Just a side note for those of you who might be using yarns that don't have a lot of stretch/give to them. I typically use lace weight yarns, and my preference is cotton or bamboo. Neither tend to have give much at all. I love this short row method, but when finishing a purl side short row this method can be difficult and pretty tight. I was able to work around this issue by doing the following: After finishing your purl side short row, turn your work and slip the first stitch as normal. The change I made is to hold that first slipped stitch, with your thumb, about one stitch width away before knitting the next few stitches. Then you can let go of that first stitch. This prevents you from pulling that extra slack while knitting the next few stitches. This slack gives you enough give to do that following purl side short row without it being too difficult or too tight, while still not leaving a gap/hole.

Wowwwww It is wonderful thank you very much finally that’s what I was looking for

Hello, thank you very much for demonstrating this technique. Your explanation is very clear. I must be doing something wrong, however, because as I progress, the gap is moving outward (nearer to the edge) in every row. Does that make any sense to you? Do you think you could help me understand what I'm doing wrong, please?

Hallo and thanks for a very nice video. I wonder does this work for a top down raglan sweater with circular needles, where I want to make the short rows on the backside at the neck?

This is a good video for JSR. I really appreciate you made this video for all knitters. My question is, how do I fix JSR where I knit or purl the first stitch and psm on the yarn after turning instead of slip first stitch?

Your fabric looks perfectly smooth! Will try this. Other videos I have seen on this technique end up with big gappy holes. However I think you should show us a better view of the finished result incorporated into a sock or something.

Damn, sure wish you had other tutorials because this one is really GREAT! Are you on another chanel/account?

RS example (Knit row): 2:00 WS example (Purl row): 3:42

Your explanation of this technique is so clear...thank you! My one question: when a knitter has finally made as many short rows as needed, how does one resolve/close up the last two loops that have been captured on the stitch markers? (when knitting the next full round with no short rows?) I am working the neckline of a top-down, raglan sleeve sweater...)

I don't bother with the marker, but I pick up the same little bump of yarn as she does.

Finding your excellent tutorial was like receiving a really great unexpected Christmas present!!! Hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The technique is easy enough; the problem comes with patterns being vague on where the shot row starts and stops. They should provide a diagram!

Kathy Griffin?

It's too complicated
