So now we're going to fix a dropped stitch. So now I'm on my stockinette side, and I'm
knitting along, and I'm going to create a dropped stitch, so I come to it, and I realized
I've lost a stitch. So I'm on the knit side, which makes that easier. So I'm going to put
the drop stitch on my right hand needle, and I'm going to put the latter behind it and
lift it over. If we were doing this from the purl side, you want that bar in front of the
needle, and then you would bring that loop from underneath through. And that's how you
would fix a single drop loop. But then you have to make sure that your needle is on the
stitch right. If you see that one is faced out, and that one is faced towards the left.
So you need to pick it off, and turn it back to get it the right way. And then as we go
along, I come along, and I see that I really dropped a lot of stitches, that would be called
like a running drop stitch. Now we would need a crochet hook, and capture the loop. And
this is where you would use the hook as a tool, and go to the bottom most latter and
capture each stitch, and bring it up. And you would keep going, you might have to wiggle
that in there to be able to find it, keep going to the very last latter. And then you're
going to put that stitch on, twisting it to the left, so that it's on correctly. And then
you've got your fixed stitches, both of your stitches are now fixed.
