I’m looking at a completed scarf I did a few months ago when I was really new at this, and I can now recognize that there are a couple of spots where I created holes by doing an accidental yarn-over.
Are these holes fixable without ripping the whole thing back? It seems if I purposely dropped the stitch from the top, that wouldn’t correct the problem, since I added an increase each time, right?
Thanks for your help – if there is anything to be helped.

Wouldn’t that just give you a big ladder? Maybe I’m just not picturing this correctly. :shrug: Did you have more stitches per row when you finished than you did when you made the YOs? If you made YO increases, I think that’d be hard to fix.
I think I did wind up with a couple extra stitches as a result of the yarn overs. I must’ve just knit them normally in the next row.
I was hoping maybe there was a way I could weave in an extra bit of yarn for a stitch or two and cover it.
Thanks,
Amy
Oh… I totally did not think of that! If your main concern is the holes, have you tried just using a needle point to even out the stitches a bit?
You could sew it closed if you wanted, but you’d have ends to weave it. That spot might not be as noticeable as the hole.
