If you have selvedge stitches at the sides of your project, attach the new yarn after you work the selvedges. This way, the pattern at the side edges will not get interrupted.

When we make a stockinette fabric, the process of picking up a dropped stitch is quite straightforward - we knit unravelled strands one by one through the dropped stitch to rebuild the column of knitted stitches.

When we knit using the Eastern (previously known as Russian) knitting style, the stitches have a different orientation on the needles. Unlike the stitches worked using any of the classic knitting styles, in Eastern knitting, the right leg of a stitch is at the back of the knitting needle. That’s why if we want to make an increase by knitting a stitch β€œfront and back” we get a result that does not look like a bar increase in the classic knitting.

To make a bar increase in Eastern knitting, we should reverse the steps and knit a stitch through the back loop before we knit it through the front loop.

Dropped edge stitches are scary. They make the edge of the fabric look so messy that it seems that the only way to fix it is to undo everything and start from scratch.

Fortunately, the hopelessness of this situation is just an illusion. Dropped edge stitches are fairly easy to fix when we understand what’s going on at that scary messy part of our project.

We’ve already discussed a simple way to fix a dropped edge stitch in a project worked in stockinette stitch or the one that has slip-stitch selvedges (you’ll find that tutorial right here).

Now, let’s see how we can fix the edge of a project worked in garter stitch, or the one decorated with garter stitch selvedges.
