Sometimes you drop a stitch when you are knitting garter stitch. And then your project unravels. Sometimes only one stitch, but often several rows. So, here's how to fix that mistake.
You will need a crochet hook and something to secure the stitch (like a stitch marker or a spare needle or even a safety pin).
And then you need to identify if the stitch is on the wrong side or right side row.
If it has a purl bump at its base, the next stitch you need to create needs to be a knit stitch. And if it has a little "v" at its base you need to recreate a purl stitch.
Step 1: go into the purl stitch from the front with your crochet hook, and pull through the next strand connecting two stitches one row above.
Step 2: Next, remove the crochet hook, bring the next strand one row above to the front, insert the crochet hook from behind, and pull the strand in the front through.
Repeat these two steps until you reached the current row and fixed all dropped stitches in your garter stitch knitting pattern.

    This was a lifesaver. I'm more than halfway into a baby blanket and in the past I've always frogged projects when I've noticed dropped stitches before. Can't even tell it happened now! Thanks!

    What a legend. I’ve always backed my way out of the problem in the past, but I’m working on a blanket and just dropped a stitch down a few rows and the idea of working my way back was daunting. This worked like a charm and I’m glad to know how to do this now.

    Hi Norman, I am pretty sure I just dropped a stitch, but I can't tell. I don't think it really looks like any of the videos on dropped stitches, and yet I can see the spot where there is clearly a mistake, and I clearly have one stitch less on my needles than I started with. Do you have any suggestions for an absolute beginner to help identify mistakes?

    How do I know which size needles to use with a non labeled yarn. I don’t see or hear teachers mention the type of yarn and size of needles used while demonstrating. I have ADHD and know type of yarn for kitchen scrubbers, thick knitting scarves and baby blankets it would help if y’all mentioned those 2 things for us. Thank you
