German Short Rows is a perfect method for short rows, it is easy and almost invisible on your knitting. I use this technique for most of my patterns, so I strongly recommend it.

On a knit row:


1. Work to the indicated stitch of the pattern.
2. Turn your work and slip the next stitch purlwise.

3. Pull the yarn to the back, this gives a double stitch.
4. Bring the yarn to front between the needles.

5. Purl the next stitch and tighten the yarn, then continue to work normally.
6. Next RS row, knit to the double stitch.

7. Insert the right needle knitwise under both of its front legs and knit both legs together.

On a WS row:


1. Work to the indicated stitch of the pattern.
2. Turn your work and slip the next stitch purlwise with the yarn in front.

3. Pull the yarn to the back, this gives a double stitch.
4. Purl the next stitch and tighten the yarn, then continue to work normally.

5. Next WS row, purl to the double stitch.
6. Insert the right needle purlwise under both of its front legs and purl both legs together.

Voila, you know everything now!
