Short Rows
with Carol Feller
Designer Carol Feller makes short rows easy! You'll learn four different techniques, plus how to use short-row shaping for better fit.
Stitch your knits into shape and never make a wrong wrap or turn! Learn how easy using short rows can be in this free, technique-based mini-class from Craftsy. Swatch along with Carol Feller, an expert knitwear designer, as she shows four different short row methods: wrap and turn short rows, Japanese short rows, yarn over short rows and her own invisible short rows.
You'll recognize Carol's passion for knitwear design - influenced by her engineering background - as she demonstrates how short row shaping can be used to tailor knitted garments.

Thorough and clear!
I like this class! I learned what I needed to proceed with another project. And I really appreciate the alternate methods she demos. A very well thought out class and demo.
I am quite impressed with Craftsy!
Excellent class
I had tried to learn short rows before and failed miserably. By knitting along with Carol, using the printed materials and replaying parts of the lesson several times, I have finally got it.

You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Great class!
Wow! What a lot of helpful information! And in a free class to boot! Very worthwhile.
