This is a
method of adding colour and texture to knitting by using the holding facility
on the machine. When using this method diagonal lines or blocks of colour can
be knitted and the underneath part of the diagonal is always knitted first.
It may help
to work from a diagram - however simple your pattern.

Basic principles of short row knitting
·
Always
start with the carriage the opposite end from the needles that are going to
brought into hold.
·
You
may bring as many needles as you like to hold position when the carriage is going
towards the needles but you can only bring one needle forward when the carriage
is going away from the needles in hold position.
·
The
fastest method of short row patterning is to bring one needle forward on every
row.
·
The
steepest gradient it is possible to create is by bringing one needle to hold on
every other row.
·
WHEN
YOU ARE BRINGING NEEDLES INTO HOLDING POSITION THE ROWS GET SHORTER.
·
WHEN
YOU ARE PUSHING THE NEEDLES BACK INTO WORKING POSITION THE ROWS GET LONGER.
·
You
usually work the same number of rows when pushing the needles back into working
position as you did when bringing them into holding position.
An
example of simple wedges
1. Colour A is knitted pulling needles out to h.p. (hold
position) and colour B is knitted pushing them back to w.p.(working position)
2.Before commencing section B the carriage has to be
moved to the side of the bed on which the first needle was brought out to hold
