The Wrap & Turn
Tricot / Knitting

The wrapped stitch technique.

Short rows are rows you don't knit until the end of the needle. You knit a part on the stitches, you wrap your thread around a stitch not to make a hole in your work, you turn and knit the next row.

 After a knit row
F i g. 1 - You are at the end of a short row (you didn't knit all the stitches of the needle). On the right needle you have the stitches you just knitted and the thread, on the left the stitches you don't want to knit.
Fig. 2 - Slip the first stitch of the left needle on the right needle (don't knit it). Pass the yarn behind this stitch to place it on the front of the work.
Fig. 3 - Slip back the stitch on the left needle, the stitch is wrapped.
F i g . 4 - Turn the work. The thread is on the left needle, it's normal. Work the next row.
