beginning knitters very often will confront dropped stitches at some point in their knitting this can strike fear in them if they don t know how easily this situation is rectified even several rows of dropped stitches is not a problem to fix below i show you how to pick up single dropped stitches and then i show you how to pick up several dropped stitches i thought about breaking this post into two different posts one for knit stitches and one for purl stitches but then i decided to do it all in one single post so this post is long if you are only interested in how to pick up dropped purl stitches scroll halfway down the post for that i do knit stitches in the first half of the post and purl stitches in the last half i also have a video in the post to help you it helps to knit a swatch of stockinette and practice dropping and picking up stitches until you are completely comfortable doing it knitting without fear picking up dropped knit stitches first you need to know a knitting fundamental how a stitch should sit properly on your left needle each stitch has a left leg and a right leg in a knit stitch the right leg will be in the front like this why do you need to know this because when you pick up stitches very often they are twisted and you will have to place them back on the needle the correct way it s a no brainer once you know how a stitch should properly sit so after you have picked up a stitch make sure it is not twisted as you will see at the end in this photo tutorial how to fix a single dropped knit stitch how to fix several rows of dropped knit stitches and here is a video to help you first half of video is knit stitches last half is purl stitches purl stitch instruction starts at 3 20 picking up dropped purl stitches how to pick up a single dropped purl stitch how to fix several rows of dropped purl stitches i hope this post helps you never to hear dropped stitches refer to video within the post if you need more help happy knitting elaine share

patterns nearly seamless being the key feature for me but just so cute i wish she was on instagram how can she not be so i could tag her but she just doesn t have an account this little sweater was a really unusual construction it s knit sideways and then you just sew up the sleeves there are two stitch versions you can do and i chose the hurdle stitch this was a fun pattern and created a really interesting texture i used a superwash merino yarn from cascade yarn it s nice for a baby project so you can just throw the sweater in the washer and dryer and not worry about it and the merino is super soft for babies the pattern maker does a great job writing her patterns they are clear and have photos showing you exactly how to do this unusual construction she makes it easy for you knitting this on circular needles made it easy to pick up and put down and the project since there was a lot going on here with stitches on holders for some of the construction i added two sparkly buttons which made me very happy pattern sideways knit cardigan yarn cascade yarns merino superwash 220 needles us 4 circular addi lace ravelry page share this share on x opens in new window x email a link to
