Everyone makes them.

Mistakes are part of learning, and most are easy to fix.

Common fixes

  • Dropped knit stitch: use a crochet hook to ladder it back up
  • Extra stitches: count often and check the edges
  • Wrong stitch a few rows back: unravel carefully to that row
  • Use stitch markers to mark repeats
  • Use a lifeline, a thread through a row, before tricky sections
