In today's episode we walk through how W&T and German Short Row instructions are often presented and the outcome of the different methods, despite the spacing looking "the same". Then we look at how to convert from one method to the other. Get your screen shot fingers ready! There are lots of goodies in here for you!

![How To: Wrap & Turn in Garter Stitch
This tutorial video focuses on working a standard Wrap and Turn (W&T) short row on garter stitch fabric.
W&T - move working yarn to front between the needles, slip next st purlwise from LH to RH needle, move working yarn to back between needles (creating a collar around the slipped st), place a marker if desired, transfer the st back to the LH needle purlwise. Turn work. Move working yarn to back between sts with the RS facing (as to
knit the next st).
If youd like to knit along to practice, heres what I did:
Cast on 36 sts (I just used a standard long tail cast on).
Knit 3 or 4 rows in garter (knit every st, every row)
Begin Short Rows:
- Row 1: Knit to 3 sts before the end, W&T.
- Row 2: Knit to 3 sts before the end, W&T.
- Row 3: Knit to 3 sts before the previous turning point (before gap), W&T.
- Row 4: Knit to 3 sts before the previous turning point (before gap), W&T.
- Repeat [Rows 3 and 4] 3 more times.
Process wrapped sts as a knit stitch. Resume working even.
