Can someone help me with a knitting question about short rowing?”
I believe you want to eliminate the visible “Bar” from the knit side of your work. It will give you a smoother more finished appearance. Here I have picked up the explanation from the purl side. You might want to review the whole Adobe tutorial to see if this technique will work for your situation. When you are on the Purl side: 1. Purl across the row to the first stitch with a wrap around it. Insert your right needle into the back of the wrap from the bottom up. 2. Next, insert your right needle into the stitch above the wrap purlwise. Purl the stitch and then pass the wrap over the stitch. Your completed stitch will be awkward on the purl side, but will erase the bar from the knit side of the work, creating a seamless short row. Hope this helps . . .
If you bring the yarn in front for the wrap on the knit side, then you need to place the yarn at the back of the stitch on the purl side, to have the yarn make the bar. It is the same for decreasing. On the purl side, you have to switch the stitches around before knitting them together to make it look like decreases from the knit side.
