Picking up a DROPPED YARN OVER is this Tiny Tutorial! A common problem in lace knitting is accidentally losing a yarn over. Maybe the yarn over was never worked or it fell off on a subsequent row. Either way, if you’re short a stitch in a lace pattern, look for a missing hole! My video shows how to pick up a yarn over that was worked on the second-to-last row, with a purl row worked after it. If you’re doing a garter pattern, pick up the yarn over from the other side so you get a garter ridge. If you just finished the row that had the yarn overs, pick up the running thread between the two needles when you get to that spot - and then work it as the yarn over. Knitting is such a wonderful stress-reliever, so I’m on a mission to keep you in stitches! I will be sharing tutorials on fixing common errors in knitting. The errors you’d usually run to your knitting teacher 😉 or LYS with. Comment here with other techniques you’d like to see or with a 💗 if this is EXACTLY the one you needed!

Here, I demonstrate how to rip back to the lifeline and get all of your stitches back on the needles. I even throw in a common error knitters make and show you how to fix it! Hooray!

When you’re working on a project (usually lace) that is tricky to fix and rip, thread a strand of fine yarn through one row of stitches. If you make an error that can’t be fixed, you can undo your work to the lifeline and easily pick up the stitches! I recommend putting in lifelines at the end of pattern repeats. Example: if your pattern is 16 rows, place the lifelines after completing every row 16 or every other row 16, depending on your comfort level. Still unsure about how to do it? Try this first on a swatch to get the hang of it! Knitting is such a wonderful stress-reliever, so I’m on a mission to keep you in stitches!
