Short Row Shaping   If you have finished the knit side of the neck, you will need to break the yarn and reattach it on the edge of the other side of the sweater. Otherwise....Work up to the row where the neck shaping begins. One side of the neck opening and shoulder will be worked at a time. The visible wrap stitches must be eliminated on the first row when finishing the neck - Hiding the Wraps. Purl-Row Shaping Purl across to the neck opening. 1) With the yarn in front, slip the next stitch purlwise. 2) Move the yarn between the needles to the back. 3) Slip the same stitch back to the left needle. 4) Turn the work, bringing yarn to the purl side between the needles. 5) Slip the stitches to be placed on hold onto the circular needle. Knit back to the sleeve edge, using the needle with the working stitches and the circular needle. Continue shaping the neck in this manner, following steps 1-4.
