How to Knit : How to Pick Up a Dropped Stitch in Knitting

[brds619]

I did it! I did it! After years of knitting and being terrified of a dropped stitch, and not being able to visualize it, I found it and did it! Thank you thank you!

how do you pick up a dropped stitch for purl? when you put a purl stitch back on the needle, is it the opposite way of a knit stitch?

[maykicksass]

@shopaholicS2 I'd assume you just turn around your work and do it the same way; a purl is, as you said, just the opposite of a knit stitch.

Don't understand. I could clearly see the video. Very helpful

[DawnChs]

Whats with all the words, can't see the video! These instruction videos are useless when you can't see what is actually being done!

[vheptonstall]

might have been possible to pick up a dropped stitch if I could actually see the video and not just a full screen of transcribed speech!

[juliaincinci]

I sure appreciate your clear instructions and very clear visuals. Thank you!

[artemisfair]

does it matter what size crochet hook you use? I guess it should be roughly the same size but if I use on half a size bigger or smaller will it look funny?

Excellent... Thank you!

I just seem to be getting a bigger hole :S

[alydeterjo]

O thank you THANK YOU! I thought I was going to start crying when I dropped a stitch earlier. I had no clue what to do! Big Sigh of relief!

So useful! I had always just tied off the dropped stitches with some spare yarn, which looked pretty sloppy. This is a much better method -- thanks Allison!
