If at any point you drop a Wrap & Turn short row, fear not, as these are the easiest to repair! You don’t need to undo all your hard work, just tink back to the point where the w&t cam undone, and follow the steps below.

1) A dropped Wrap & Turn short row will look similar to this; it has separated into two parts on the left-hand needle. The loop nearest the needle tip doesn’t look like a normal stitch, as it’s a loop that belongs to the row below, and is the ‘wrap’ in the short row.
2) Slip this loop onto the tip of the right-handle needle.
3) Then slip the next stitch on the left-handle needle to the right-hand needle – this is the stitch that was previously short-rowed and needs to be wrapped again.
4) Insert the tip of the left-hand needle into the loop from step 2.
5) Then gently pass it over the stitch nearest the tip of the right-hand needle, i.e. over the stitch that needs to be short rowed again.
6) The wrap & turn has now been reconstructed.
