    Dropped a stitch? It's bound to happen, a stitch is going to fall off your needles.

    Here's how I fix it:

    DO NOT PULL ON DROPPED STITCH, because more will come loose.

    Having a crochet hook makes it easier.
    - Lay your project flat.
    - Pass crochet hook through knit loop.
    - Pick up dropped yarn in the row above, and pull through towards you through stitch.
    - Repeat throughout for each dropped row.
    - Place recovered stitch back on your needle and continue knitting.
