How to: work over a wrap & turn

In short row knitting, when you work a series of wrap and turns (w&t), horizontal wrap ‘bars’ on the knit side can create a diagonal effect. This may be left as part of the design, for example on a sock, or it can also be worked over and removed as fuller rows are worked again.

The bars around each wrapped stitch are visible on the K side and to remove these horizontal wraps, the bar of the wrapped stitch is worked together with the next stitch on the left-hand needle. It is worked slightly different on knit or purl rows.
To hide the bar on a purl row, work to the wrapped stitch. Insert the right-hand needle into back of loop of wrap bar and lift it onto the left-hand needle. Purl the wrap together with the stitch.
