Dropped stitches can cause knitting to unravel, so you must pick up (fix) that dropped stitch. This video shows you how to find dropped stitches and how to fix them as you knit.

  • Miracle!!!

  • Thank You!! As I was learning to knit, needless to say I started out with many dropped stitches. I unraveled more stitches than I knitted! I tried many ways to pick up the stitches but always ended up losing entire rows. Your video will save my sanity and make the knitting experience a happy one.

  • Thank you SO much! I had a ribbed pattern, so I needed to pick up both knit and purl stitches, and your video saved my work and lots of time :)

  • So what happens if you've dropped a stitch but didn't notice it and kept working the stitches? On my hat, I noticed and picked up a stitch to replace the dropped one, but kept on going because I wasn't sure (until now) how to fix it. Is it too late?

  • thank you for taking the time to share this you have  just saved another project being ravelled into another ball :)

  • thank you--u just saved my life!!!

  • I have watched several videos and still could not successfully pick up a dropped stitch, until I watched this video. Now, I can move along with my first knit project. Thanks for your help!!!

  • What about garter stitch?

  • In my short 9 months of knitting I was afraid of dropping a stitch but not now and never again! I don't even know why people told me to use a crochet hook because this was sooo simple!

  • Where have you been all my knitting life! Great video, it's a keeper!
