The problem with the intuitive way of picking up purl wraps is that it places the wrap in front of the stitch.
The challenge is to find an easy way to get that wrap in the back, which is exactly what our trick does.
Ready To Learn How To Pick Up Short-Row Purl Wraps The Invisible Way?
Before we start if you need to brush up, please review Short Rows: Learn To Wrap-and-Turn (https://www.knitfreedom.com/knitting-video/wrap-and-turn-short-rows/). It will refresh your ability to follow the pattern below.
Make a swatch and follow along:
CO 20 sts.
Row 1: K 18, W&T (wrap and turn).
Row 2: P 16, W&T.
Row 3: K to 2 sts before next wrapped st, W&T.
Row 4: P to 2 sts before next wrapped st, W&T.
Repeat rows 3 and 4 until you have 4 wrapped stitches along each needle. K2, W&T.
Here is the part of the pattern that comes next, where you will use our new trick:
Next row: P across, pick up and purl wraps as you come to them.
By the way, this technique comes from the pattern instructions of the Cedar-Leaf Shawlette (who knew? Its actually a good idea to read pattern instructions).
To sum up:
1) Knit to the wrapped purl stitch.
2) Using the right-hand needle, pick up the wrap from the right side of the work.
3) Place the wrap on the left-hand needle over and behind the stitch it was wrapping.
4) Purl those two stitches together.
Remember, the key is to pick up the purl wrap from the opposite side of the work.
You can use this technique on any pattern that calls for short rows.
