MASTERCLASS GERMAN SHORT ROWS
QUICK TECHNIQUE WITH CHRISTINE BOGGIS

1. At the end of your last foot round,
   instead of continuing to work in the round,
   turn the work and, with the WS of the sole
   sts facing, slip the first st (the last st of the
   rnd) pwise.
   2. Pull tightly on the working yarn so that
   the two legs of the stitch below sit across
   the needle.
   3. Then work the next stitch – in this case,
   a k st. Here you can see what looks like 3
   sts on the needle, but it is actually only
   two: the two legs of the slipped stitch and
   the stitch next to them.


2. K to the end of the sole sts at the half
   way point marker, turn, slip the first sole st
   pwise, then p the next st.
   5. P to the ‘wrapped’ st – the one with two
   legs sitting across the needle, it should be
   easy to see – don’t work it, and turn. Slip
   the next st pwise, then pull tightly on the
   working yarn as in step 2. Keep working as
   above until 13 sts remain unwrapped and
   you have a row of wrapped sts on each
   side of the heel.
   6. P the 13 unwrapped sts. When you
   come to the first wrapped st, p both legs
   as one st, as if you were purling 2 together.


3. Turn the work and slip the first st of the
   next short row.
   8. K to the first wrapped st and k the two
   legs together.
   9. Continue as set by steps 5-8 until you
   have worked all the wrapped sts, then p to
   end of row, ready to continue in the round.
