German Short Rows
A modern technique for short rows without gaps. Uses double stitches instead of wrap and turn.
Explanation
German Short Rows are a popular method for creating three-dimensional shaping in knitting without leaving holes. Instead of the traditional 'wrap and turn' method, you create a 'double stitch' at the turning point. This gives a cleaner result and is easier to perform. The technique is often used to shape sock heels, create depth in hats, and shape the shoulders and necklines of sweaters.
