looks tidy.

HIDING SHORT-ROW WRAPS ON THE PURL SIDE

1 On the purl side, work to the point where the wrap is.

2 Insert the right needle from back to front through the back loop of the wrap.
Lift the wrap and place it onto the left needle with the wrapped stitch.

3 Purl the wrap and the wrapped stitch as 1 stitch.

After you complete your short-row shaping, you can bind off or continue

your pattern as established.

Note:Shoulders that have been shaped with short rows can be grafted together for a more seamless

look (see page 142).
