Oh no! a dropped stitch in garter stitch

How-To Pick Up a Dropped Garter Stitch

I hated garter stitch and seed stitch because fixing it with a crochet hook was a nightmare. Since I figured out this way of fixing mistakes, I don’t mind working them anymore. When I came across this link I thought someone else might find it useful too. Happy :knitting: and HTH someone.

You scour the internet and bring us the best of your findings. Thanks GG, for another good one.

LOL thank FB for the link! That’s where I found it. :slight_smile:

Good explanation on that link. I just use a crochet hook and go back and forth.

Great tutorial, thanks!

A lot of newbies don’t know this. But you can do your garter stitch by either knitting all the rows or purling all the rows. I know one knitter who does her garter with all purls.

I prefer to knit all rows. In the round you can do a short row turn with the first stitch and knit all the rounds. That I like.

Dropped stitches aren’t usually that much of a problem for me but seeing that the yarn was split when I did a stitch 20 rows back was bleep!!! Now I can fix it with confidence and less vocabulary building. :slight_smile:
