Short rows in a collar

#1

I am stuck and what method and how to do short rows in the collar of sweater that stands up. Can anyone give me a reference?

#2

Are you using a pattern (a link to it would be nice) or adding the collar to an existing sweater? What stitch pattern is it done in? Are you wanting a recommendation on which short row method to use or how to do the entire collar?

Thank you for your quick reply. I am doing my own top down cardigan. The band is picked up and garter part way then the 2X2 ribbed collar. I thought I would do 4 short rows on each side, but my dilemma is the method to use in the knit section and the purl section. Or should I just make sure I am always in the knit section for the w&T? Thank you very much.

I think German short rows would be a good choice. I avoid W&T for the reason shown in the video.

but, whoever did the closed captioning… yikes… just what kind of knitting is going on there?!? :wink:

Here’s another video (or two) for German short rows. I still refer to the set whenever I need to do them

:?? Those captions are strange.:oo: Maybe we should just stick with the ones salmonmac linked to. They’re where I learned this technique.
