- Whether you have a dropped garter stitch column because it accidentally dropped, or you dropped it intentionally to fix a mistake, here I demonstrate how to get that stitch back on the needle.
You can see all of my slow-motion videos here:

The scarf on the mannequin is the Chestnut Hill Shawl, you can see the tutorial here:

This is the FIRST time in almost 30 years of knitting that I FINALLY understand how to fix a dropped garter stitch!! Thank you.
Thank you so much. It looks like I figured this out correctly, but your slow motion was the best video I’ve seen. I’ve only been knitting a few years and your “how to” shorts are saved on my phone! I’d never have gotten past the washcloth stage without your help! Thank you, again.
I love your Slo-Mo series!!! The Twisted German cast on one was what helped me finally get that cast on.
I absolutely agree.
I’ve never seen anyone turn the work and fix! This has really helped me - thank you!
That's what I do. I was hoping there was some expert knitter trick where you don't have to turn the work haha! But I am glad to know we are all in the same boat!
Thank you for this, I just had to tink back 6 rows of lace on a cardigan because I forgot to do garter stitch for the button band and did stockinette. I watched a number of videos and practiced on a swatch but still couldn't get in....no one was turning their work over....this is so much easier! Hopefully I won't need this, but fabulous to know it's here if I do!
Thanks, that’s what I do on small things also. But on something larger, like a nearly done big sweater, I don’t turn it; I just poke the hook into the loop from the other side and pull the ladder back.
I sooooo needed that. I was doing all the stitches knit. 😬🤭
Omg never thought to turn the work Genius!
Thank you for my weekly session of 'knitting Zen.' Bless you for a simpler technique -- and for showing how to mount the stitch back on the needle without twisting it. As always, your videos offer more than one useful tip.
Beautiful. Just what I needed! Now I need a crochet hook...
Great video! Every time I dropped a stitch in garter and tried to correct it, my knitting just looked wrong. Now after watching your tutorial, I’m picking up dropped garter stitches like a pro. Thank you so much! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your channel!
What a great help this video is! Thanks for your slow motion series.
Appreciate the slow mo...and instructions...I will pull out my eleven row WIP and make a go of it..thank you🧶
That was so helpful! Thank you for sharing that fix. I always end up pulling out all the rows, no more! Thanks again.
I wish I knew it yesterday. It took me hours to fix it. Great great great tutorial
Thank you much for this slow-mo video! Certainly helps! And the flipping back and forth is so much smarter...even though the concern of dropping again. Lolol I will be safe and make sure!
I love your slow motion videos! Thank you.
Thank you. This is a huge help for a beginner knitter. 😃
Oh this most appreciated!
Of course we need it! And you! Thanks!
THANK YOU!! I can use all the tips I can get!
Thank you!
I really appreciated this video and the recommendation to turn the work, but I don't understand how you figure out whether the very first correction is a knit stitch or a purl stitch. She was able to tell by looking, so she knew which side of the fabric to start on, but I couldn't figure out how she knew.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!!!!!!!
These types of repairs are so much easier and faster if you use a double-ended crochet hook. There is a tool called Fix-A-Stitch specifically designed for this...it's just a short double-ended crochet hook...but really any double-ended crochet hook will do. This video (czcams.com/video/yU5CILvgEuU/video.html) shows the technique. No need to turn the work or remove the hook from the fabric. Watch the video to learn the technique. The technique works on any pattern of stitches.
Thanks very much !
I think I've worked it out. You're telling if its a knit or purl by what row the bar is in or the stitch next to it. I thought you were actually reading the bar itself 😅
Very helpful
Perfect. TFS! ❤
Hey there…when you re- seated the corrected garter stitch, it looked to me like it was next to the stitch with the yarn. So I’m guessing u would have turned ur work around & would have needed to take the corrected stitch & put it on the rh needle. ( IF u were going to continue on this piece of knitting ,if it wasn’t just a sample piece of knitting to show this tip ( correcting a garter stitch). ( hope this was clear, lol ) ty, again 😊
Thanks ❤
Thanks!!
I love how to take drop stich thank.u
Hiya😊Ty, so much for your work! I have a request for a Knitting Help episode. Years back there a scarf patter came out called My So Called Scarf. Would you take a look at it if u r not familiar with it and do a slow mo of fixing a dropped stitch from that pattern? I remember doing it & running into trouble & put it down.. plz let me know if u will do this. TY, in advance. All the best🌞🌻🐝🦋

I don’t see how you know if the stitch was a knit or a purl. Help.
Here is my video on Reading Your Knitting, which helps you distinguish knits from purls: czcams.com/video/E468GpyOVvU/video.html
@@verypinkknits Thank you for pointing me to the video. And, your nails always look so fabulous. I know that you do them yourself. You are so multi-talented.
In garter stitch how are you differentiating between knit and purl. I just can't get it Im sorry. I watched your video on reading your knitting but it was no help to me. Its easy to differentiate between knit and purl in stocking stitch but not so in garter stitch. Not for me anyway. Can you help please
I just picked up a garter stitch successfully but only by trial and error. So I had to do it several times until it came out right by luck I think not by design.
Strange question from someone super new to knitting... I have found myself going THRU the loop when inserting my needle and working around the back side of the loop rather than the front. Is this going to effect my project in any way? Or is it "special way" of knitting that has a seperate/specific name?
Ie instead of placing my needle from the left side of the first loop coming out to the right in the middle of the loop...
I insert my needle into the middle of the loop from the right side and come out on the left side of the back half of the loop.
I could be explaining this super wrong I know none of the terminology
It sounds to me like you're knitting through the back loop of the stitch. In most knitting styles, this creates a twisted stitch. But this is a normal way to work the stitch if you're a Combination knitter. This video explains more about the different knitting styles: czcams.com/video/X5HAqG8Prbc/video.html
@@verypinkknits THANK YOU for the response and info, I'll check it out right now
🤠💕
😀💙💜👍
What size crochet needle do you use for drop stitch?
Try to find a size that is close to the knitting needles you're using.
Thanks!
