Hi. I just want to take a minute to let you know that your tutorials are amazing! You have helped me with so many different issues and I can't thank you enough
This is wonderful! I was afraid to even watch the video because I thought I was too far gone. Once again, knitting is the coolest, most clever thing! I loved the video; it was easy, I could see what you were doing, and it made sense. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am working on a blanket and just noticed I dropped a few stitches about ten rows down. Nice to see its actually simple to pick them back up!
Oh! Yes, beginner's rows often get wider and wider because they don't make sure the yarn is behind the knitting when they start - they pull the yarn to the front and end up making two stitches out of one. You can watch a video on that in the free learn-to-knit video course (knitfreedom - dot - com / learn - to - knit) :)
Imagine my dread when I looked at my knit rowed blanket and realized I'd put a stockinette down the middle of it... Definitely not the instructions I needed, but a great video, anyways! Laughing at myself!
I wish I had know this technique a few days ago when I noticed I had dropped a stitch about 30 rows down. Oyveh! I used a crochet hook and it looks like it. :( I'm hoping it straightens out during blocking. Thanks for showing us how to do this!
You're welcome! Question though: you mention that in another video you talk about why the beginner's rows get wider and wider. You said you covered that in the first video but unless I missed something, I didn't find that part. Can you direct me to the right place? Thanks!
Hi, I realised I dropped a stick about 5 or so rows back but only after continuing with my pattern which means there is no gap where that Stich should be now. I’m also working in 3 wools at the same time in order to create a picture in the middle of the knitting when I’m done. This means that a dropped Stich will cause the picture to be skewed and just look awful! I’m wondering is there any way I fix it apart from unpicking all those stitches over and over??
Hi Anna, I'm so sorry, but I think you will need to undo the rows in order to fix the pattern. Since there is not gap where the stitch should be, there is no ladder of yarn to pick up to re-create the stitch. It's best to just remove the needle, pull out the 5 or so rows of knitting, put the stitches back on your needle, and start again. knitfreedom.com/blog/undo-knitting
@@liatgat2445 Thank you for your reply and advice. I managed to fix it earlier today. I did have to unpick some of my stitches but only about half the row thankfully! Anyway thanks again for the advice!
My problem is I have a dropped stitch run down a column of KFB raglan increases to 3 or 4 rows below. Now I’m stuck on how to pick up the stitches so I have all the increases in place
That's a tricky one! If you have to KFB from the dropped stitch, it may be best to frog it back to the original dropped stitch. Because even if you kfb successfully while picking up one dropped stitch, there may not be enough yarn for both stitches to comfortably fit. Good luck! :)
Lifesaver!!! I’m knitting a tank top and didn’t have the heart to rip my entire piece apart. Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video. I have dropped stitches and frogged back to get them knitted. As usual, your instructions are easy to understand and follow.
@zeldabows Thank you so much for the compliment! I am so glad that this video was helpful for you. :)
I love your calming voice! Thanks for showing us how to do this so simply.

@biancopus You're so welcome! It was a great suggestion. :)
This was so helpful, after years of knitting, I never knew how to do this. Thank you so much 😍😍
Oh yay! This is such a good skill. Now you will be able to knit with more confidence!

I love this technique! So much easier than using a crochet hook!
You saved my knitting, thank you!
Yay! You're so welcome.
thank you i think i will do a swatch to practice
Awww, thank you! You're too sweet.
So helpful, thank you!
I just found a mistake 21 rows down on my newborn sleep sac! UGH!! Will be doing this, looks like a much neater technique then with a crochet hook.
What do you do if you drop a stitch and then keep knitting. There is no "ladder" to repair. There is just a missing stitch several inches down.
