Add this designer touch to any sweater
An asymmetric hem was featured on a recent Machine Knit-Able (Morning Tracks from Universal Yarns). A wide ornamental band ran around the lower edge of the sweater in this style.
We can tell that this slanted hem was constructed with short rows if we look at the hand knitting pattern from Universal yarns or if we look closely at the photo.

How to knit this?
- Cast on the instructed number of stitches for the hem of the sweater
- Knit a hem or 2 rows (the original has a wide band knit separately)
- Put all needles into hold position
- Return groups of needles to working position (don't forget to Wrap )
- Continue until all needles are in working position
- Continue knitting the body of the sweater
Short Row Shaping aka Partial knitting is an essential skill for all machine knitters.
Partial knitting is just as it sounds ...you knit part of a row of knitting instead of the entire row.
Instead of knitting just squares and rectangles, short row shaping can be used to shape your knitting.

How calculate the shaping?
