GREAT tutorial!! Is that a stockinette stitch?

Do you use the same method for a dropped garter stitch also? I am a beginner knitter.

Thank you!

Yes, you guessed correctly, this time it's stocking stitch, aka stockinette stitch. Fixing dropped stitches in garter stitch is a bit harder, as you need to turn the work after every 'recovered' stitch (or at least reposition the crochet hook). One day I'll get around to making a video on that.

Hi! Can you help me? I picked up my drop stitch on a sleeve (knit in the round on double points) and then kept knitting. i realized a while later that i must have picked it up one or two rows away from where i should have because there is now kind of like a ladder/hole effect still in the middle of the sleeve, but it gets fixed up from where i tried to correct it. is there a way to fix it now? if i tried to "pick it up" again i'd have too many stitches at the top...thanks!

This method helped loads, thanks, it doesn't even look like I dropped a stitch! I'm new to knitting and I'm knitting my first scarf- this will help me a lot in the future as I drop stitches too much.

amazing save..thank you!

Oh dear, mine rarely look invisible, particularly as my wool has different shades. I make too many dropped stitches, is it actually possible to knit without any dropped stitches. I don't know why I am dropping them even tho I am trying to concentrate
