Thank you very much. I bought the pattern from St st. There is no pattern number. I saw your helpful tips but I can’t work out whether the I five is at the stArt of end of remaining stitches
It sounds like it’s the front band so the 5sts are not at the beginning edge but at the edge between the worked sts and the held sts. It may be part of the front buttonband.
That makes sense I will try that. Thanks

Welcome to KH!
We do have the best, most helpful group ever right here. Glad you’ve joined us.
Hi there community, I am new to this forum & on a 5 hour flight with an issue I have tried various ways to google to resolve, without luck. I’m hoping someone can help! This seems like a great resource for me as I am not a beginner but not full fledged intermediate either! Here are some photos of my issue! It seems I have dropped a knit stitch - however - I have fiddled trying to troubleshoot and have ended up w a large loop with no visible laddering to pick up the stitch (I know how to basically do this). Can anyone help? Thank you so much!
Welcome to the forum!
So you’re missing a stitch and can’t ladder down to pick up the loop from that stitch? Is that it?
When you can’t ladder up any further the best thing to do is to tie the stitch off. You can run a short length of yarn through the loop then weave in the ends into the neighboring sts (maybe 6sts or so on each side) on the wrong side.
If the loop is very large you might even be able to cut it and weave in the tails, but probably not that large a loop,
If that’s not the problem maybe you can post a photo of the area around the loop. (Yours didn’t post.) Use the landscape icon in the upper middle of the Reply box to start posting a photo (or maybe the flight wi-fi isn’t allowing it?).
If there’s no ladder maybe you’ve just snagged it and pulled yarn from neighbouring stitches into a loop?
If this is the case you redistribute the yarn and it will disappear across maybe 6 or 7 stitches. If you look at the direction of travel into and out of the loop you may be able to see if this loop actually owns a stitch (it’s own stitch) or if the yarn came from neighbouring stitches by snagging and fiddling).
Occassionally I accidentally yarn over with a stitch (wrap but slip the stitch instead of dropping off, by accident) and if you’ve done this you might see a stitch next to the loop which is elongated as it’s worked in the row below and the row above but not worked in the row where the loop is. In this case your ladder is that column with the elongated stitch and if you ladder that stitch down you can work the loop into its row and continue up.
This is assuming you have a fabric that is reasonably easy to ladder and rework, like stockinette.
Hello my fellow knitters! I’m an orphan from the Reddit-sphere which is now largely populated by bots and ruled by various political influences in which I have no interest. I’m retired now, but have only been knitting about a year and a half. I’m totally hooked (needled?)! I’m happy to have found a dedicated knitting forum - it makes me think of how we used to do forums back in the ‘olden days’. Anyway, just want to check in and say ‘hi’ to everyone and to thank you for maintaining this forum.

Welcome to KnittingHelp and back to knitting!
Lots of pattern ideas and many questions too. Thanks for joining us.
Hi, I’m new to this forum. I consider myself a casual knitter. I keep a project (or many) on needles to pick up for enjoyment. I’ve mainly done scarves and a few blankets. I have knitted two hats as long as I had instructions on hand. Anywho, hi ya! I’m looking forward to exploring this forum.
Thank you

Welcome to @eyeletknit and @SillyStitcher in particular and all the new members since I joined in about 2008 (maybe).
Why are there particulars? Because I am from PA but now in NC. 
I joined Knitting Help back then to learn everything about Knitting that I had not yet been taught by my mom. I only knew straight needles (working flat) cast on, knit and purl.
Now I am an occasional yarn crafter in crochet or knitting when my hands don’t hurt.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to knitting!
So glad you’re getting back into it. Muscle memory clicks in and very often it all comes back to you. If there are any questions or comments on the knitting, this is a good place to ask.
Hi Neena! I just started knitting about 10 months ago and the people here have been beyond helpful in getting me over the finish line on projects. Welcome!
Hello ! I’m new to this site 
and I need a bit of help with a pattern !!
I am knitting a tank top I have 103 stitches on my needle, and this is what the pattern is saying next to do - I have done 3 rows of rib 1x1 by the way !
Rib 21, inc in next stitch, (rib3, inc in next stitch) 3 times, rib 11, inc in next stitch, (rib2, inc in next stitch) 4 times, rib 13, inc in next stitch, (rib 3, inc in next stitch) 3 times, rib 19.
When I try and add up all those stitches I’m supposed to be doing it doesn’t come to 103 - so I feel like I am reading it wrong (I am obviously not taking into account the inc stitches at this stage) once that row has been completed, it’s supposed to be 116 stitches.
anyway - any help much appreciated Louise x
Welcome to the forum!
The increases are worked “in a stitch” using increases like kfb or a lifted loop increase rather than a make one. A kfb or lifted increase use up a stitch and increases one stitch whereas a make one occurs between sts.
If you add up all the stitches including the single stitches (bolded below) that will be used for the increases, it totals 103sts.
21+1+9+3+11+1+8+4+13+1+9+3+19=103
There are 13 increases so 103+13=116.
Oh yes of course !! I get it now. thank you so much. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain that !
