SPECIAL TECHNIQUES
GERMAN SHORT ROWS
Work to t u r n i n g p oi nt, t u r n s o you’re re a dy
to work the next short row - you will create
a double stitch (DS) where instructed at the
b e g i n n i n g o f t h e n e x t sh or t row. Wit h ya r n
i n f ront, sl ip t h e n e x t s t itc h p u rlw i s e t h e n
take the working yarn over the RH needle
from front to back and pull up on the stitch
until the ‘legs’ of the stitch from the last
row pull across the RH needle. The stitch
on the needle will look like a double stitch.
When working the DS the next time, work
i nto b o t h l e g s a s i f t h e D S i s a s i n g l e s t itc h ,
knit on RS rows, and purl on WS rows.

PATTERN NOTES
The sleeve cuffs are worked in rows,
but keep using DPNs or Magic Loop for
a few rows since it will be very tight

ot h e r w i s e - j u s t re m e m b e r to t u r n a n d

work flat.

The sleeve buttons are decorative, so no

buttonholes are made on the sleeve cuffs.

“THIS CARDIGAN reminds me of the
Little House on the Prairie books by
Laura Ingalls Wilder, recalling those
long, swooping dresses paired with
tight cardigans with a longer waist
ribbing,” says Kristin Blom. “The classic
Shetland horseshoe pattern adds lace to
the yoke; the stitch has been adapted to
work with the yoke increases. The picot
edgings flirt with the lace trimmings of
prairie dresses and shirts. The glass
buttons, different for the front and
sleeves, add to the vintage feel.”
