I’m using Peaches 'n Cream cotton on aluminum (!) needles and I keep losing a stitch here and there (but aluminum is the only material I can use to knit this particular cotton)…
Anyway, what do I do with this big gap? Do I knit on to the next row and ???
(Sadly, I have asked this question before, a couple of weeks ago, got an answer, and have no idea what that answer was! I think I need to learn to use the search engine!)
If you’ve dropped a stitch, it runs like nylons and you can use a crochet hook to bring the stitch up the ladders to the needle. If you’ve got an extra stitch, drop it on the next row, the extra yarn can be worked into the adjacent stitches and will even out when you wash it.
Yeah, I’ve done that. An unsuspected, unwanted YO that you don’t discover until a few rows later.
All you have is a honkin’ hole. Won’t go anywhere, just looks awful.
If you don’t want to frog, I’ve cheated: take a length of the same yarn, thread it through both sides of the hole, and pull it up tight. Tie a knot on the wrong side of your work and weave the ends in as if nothing has happened.
Usually, unless someone knows to look there for a goof, no one will be any the wiser.
Saves a visit to the frog pond!

PS - be sure to count your stitches so you don’t mess up the number that you need to be working with. Make the appropriate decrease in the appropriate spot if you do come up with an extra.
I agree with Suzee and Dot
