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 pick up a dropped stitch, we should alternate knitting and purling the unravelled strands through that runaway stitch

Even when we are extra careful to make our projects neat, the knitted fabric is never perfectly even right after we finish our hats, socks, mittens and sweaters (or whatever else we are making). Some stitches are often a little bit bigger than the rest of the stitches and that gives the fabric a slightly messy look. This small imperfection is easily fixed by blocking, but we need at least 24 hours to properly block a knitted project. What if we don’t have that much time or simply don’t want to wait that long? If you’ve ever finished a knitted gift hours before you have to present it, or if you’ve ever wanted to put a new sweater on right after you bound off stitches, you’ll know what I mean In these and other “emergency” cases, we can use dry blocking to make our knits if not perfect, but at least considerably better looking. All it takes is a few minutes and three simple steps.

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 “front 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.
