You knit wrap and turn short rows flat by wrapping the yarn around the next stitch, turning your work, and continuing back. To knit wrap and turn short rows flat, you work back and forth and intentionally stop before the end of the row to shape your fabric. When you reach the point where the short row begins, you bring the yarn to the correct position, slip the next stitch, wrap the yarn around that stitch, turn your work, and continue knitting in the opposite direction. Later, when you come back to that wrapped stitch, you knit or purl it together with its wrap to avoid holes. This knitting technique is commonly used in flat knitting to add gentle shaping to heels, shoulders, busts, and curved hems.
