Knitting

wrap and turn

Description

A knitting technique used in short rows to shape fabric without creating holes by wrapping the yarn around a stitch before turning the work.

Detailed explanation

In knitting, ‘wrap and turn’ is a standard method for creating short rows, allowing for shaping in garments such as sock heels or bust darts. By wrapping the working yarn around the next unworked stitch before turning mid-row, the knitter prevents a visible gap at the turning point. When returning to this stitch later, the wrap is typically picked up and knitted together with the stitch to conceal it.
