Step 6
Wrapping stitches
A wrap stitch is used to eliminate the risk of holes when using the short row shaping method. Work to where the wrap is required; then to work it, slip the next stitch on to the right needle, bring the yarn to the front of work between the needles, and slip the same stitch back on to the left needle. On subsequent rows, work the loop and the wrapped stitch as k2tog and turn. Continue from pattern.
