- in shaping, casting off introduces definite steps and after joining two edges like this together it can make a bit of an ugly finish. A smoother line is produced when reducing stitches by using holding position then taking off on waste yarn and picking up to join together. This is useful for necklines and shoulders.
- in necklines it can create a very stretchy opening for children jumpers and provide smoother join with an added neckband
- creating shaping for bust line darts
- the back can have added rows in the middle to stop a garment looking like it is riding up
- godet shaping in jackets and tops for peplums
- around skirts to give pleating or fullness at the bottom that kick and can be done in contrast colours and yarn thickness
- around collars to shape and add curves
- used in intarsia to create diagonal shapes or a triangle of each colour in a sweater front or back. Another way is by creating a diamond shape
- to produce a swirl or waterfall effect scarf or front of a garment
- these are just some of the examples of short row use and benefits
