 beginner, you may wish to exclude it. For an adventurous beginner or more experienced
 knitter, it may improve the fit around the neck. If you do choose to include the German
 short rows, when the pattern says to turn, make sure to follow the specific turning
 instructions in the German short row note earlier in the pattern.
