Short rows (forkortede rekker / vendepinner)

German Short Rows
Technique for turning to get a nice neckline. With this technique, you stop in the middle of a needle (when stated in the pattern), turn, and knit back. When you stop to turn and knit back, place the stitch onto the opposite needle and pull the yarn behind, so the stitch gets «two legs.» This prevents the work from having holes and provides an invisible turning technique.
When you go to knit past the turn next time, you will knit these 2 «legs» together.
Fall masks to the right and left
Knit 2 together.
To decrease on the left: Slip 2 stitches purlwise, one and one. Place them back on the left needle, and purl these two stitches together, twisted.
