How many times have you dropped a stitch out of your cast-on as you are knitting the first row? And started over, right?
Well, now you don't have to take the cast-on out and start over. Just carefully re-work the dropped stitch, following the technique in the video.
This cast-on trick is a small part of the video knitting course, The KnitFreedom Video Guide To Cast-Ons: www.knitfreedom.com/shop/cast...

You're a genius! Thank you so much!!! You've no idea how much I didn't want to start over after casting on 260 stitches and then moss stitching about half of them.

@paulettegoldsmith2695 6 жыл бұрын

You are amazing - I'm a beginning knitter and usually start over when this happens. Like others have said, this was a much bigger project with more than 100 cast on - saved!

God bless you! There is nothing WORSE than having cast on 400 stitches for a poncho, knitting about 200-250 of them only to drop a cast on stitch! I don't know why this works but I followed you in slow-mo and did what you said and the cast on stitch was picked up, THANK YOU!

Thank you so much!!!! I am a long time crocheter picking up knitting for the first time, I practiced and practiced and finally got a cast on row I felt happy about and accidentally dropped one near the end of my first row and I was really ready to cry if I had to pull it all and start over lol. You’re a life saver

That is wonderful to hear! I'm glad you could pick up that stitch and not have to start over - that can be frustrating! Glad we could help :)

I've been knitting for 15 years and didn't know this could be fixed. I was frustrated tonight and decided to see if it was possible and I'm so thrilled that it is! Great video!

Hooray! I'm delighted that you "gave it a Google" and found me. Isn't knitting marvelous? Don't keep me a secret now, please tell your knitting friends that when they are confused, go to KnitFreedom.com!

@Wra8h 3 жыл бұрын

maybe bc yours is a different one? I dunno my cast one seems a bit different so I looked closely into my cast ons and mimicked the way I did it in the first place and it worked!! PS: Hope you still knit, this was two years ago haha

I just cast on a few stitches, dropped one on purpose, and then tried to pick it back up, copying how it came out. And, happily, it worked! But I have been knitting for a good while now, so I have pretty good instincts. ;)

Hi Fatma, Yes, I have a video on that. Go to knitfreedom (dot) com / knitting - videos and click the section called "Troubleshooting." There you will find a video on how to drop a few stitches a few rows down and fix them, which is what you need to do in this instance. I hope this helps!

does this work for cast on stitches that are not created using the long tail method?

@Knitfreedom 3 ай бұрын

The exact technique might not work but the idea will work. You can figure out how the stitch was made and recreate it. Or you can just try this and see if it works.

If you watch to the end of the video I show you how to do it on the knit side too :)
