  • Hi, i have a 2x2 ribbing with the first and last stitch all knitted knitwise to get a garter stitch border. Now i have dropped stitch at the edge! how do i fix that?

  • @relligence Yikes! Most of the time now I use slip stitch edges so it's easier to fix. But to answer your question, I'm going to direct you to another place. I will tell you though that it's a bit complicated since the end stitches are almost knotted when an row ends and begins again with a knit stitch. Scroll down to the heading: "CORRECTING EDGE ERRORS when the fabric has an ORDINARY SELVEDGE" at this website: techknitting.blogspot.com/2007­/10/fixing-errors-at-sides-edg­es-of-your.html

  • You are so helpful! I am 13 years old and me and my friend stared a business. Im in the middle of a order and i droped the stitch!!! I started crying because i though it had to start all over. But know i know that!! THANKS! You saved my scarf

  • @Reneec3343 I'm so glad it helped you out! Good luck with your business :)
