Knitting lesson 9: recovering a lost stitch

Recovering a dropped stitch





At some point in your knitting career, you are going to drop a stitch. When this happens, a stitch falls off your needle and unravels for several rows beneath the row you are working on.




First of all, don't panic. Knit until you've reached the dropped stitch. Insert a crochet hook (if you don't have one available, the top of your needle will also work) into the loop of the dropped stitch.

Now grab the bar of the stitch right above it in the crook of your crochet hook. Pull the bar through the stitch. If your stitch has dropped down several rows, repeat until your stitch is on the same row as the rest of your knitting.




Slip the stitch onto your knitting needle

 

knitting lesson 10: unraveling stitch by stitch

Unraveling Stitch by Stitch


Sometimes a mistake is too many rows down to fix with a crochet hook. Instead, you need to unravel your work in order to fix the error. As painful as it may sound, any good knitting teacher will tell you that 'Ripping is part of Knitting."

Unravel your knitting by following the directions below. This is a slightly slower but a very safe method to fix your knitting.



On a knit stitch, holding the yarn in the back, insert the left needle into the stitch one row below the first stitch on the right needle.

On a purl stitch (not shown), hold the yarn in front and insert the needle from the back of the work.

Slip the stitch onto your left needle, gently pulling the yarn out of the stitch above it. Continue in this way until you have reached your mistake.
