Have you just learned short rows and would like to practice? Then this is for you. Only two rows require any wrapping and turning, and then it’s smooth sailing. The effect is quite nice, with the short rows eliminating some of the bulk between the purl bands, and a nice brooch or button finishes off this look. This is an easy one for the pros too. Hope you enjoy! :)

PS - I don’t actually include the instructions for wrapping and turning, but there are many tutorials out there. This assumes you know the basics. Don’t worry though, it’s easy!
