Thank you for that tip. I have accidentally don't that twice in the sock I'm knitting. Now I know the better way to deal with the yarn over. 😊

Beautiful! That's a neat solution to a common problem. Many thanks.

I have been wondering how this happens every so often in my 5 years of knitting, never knew what to call it though so didn't know there was a solution... thank you so much!

Genius!

[@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl]

It's great that it's so easy to fix and looks invisible. Is there a similarly easy way to create a yarn over if you forgot to do one? I usually pick up and work the strand between the two stitches where the yarn over should have been, but I'm curious to know if there's another way. Cheers.

[@10rowsaday]

Hi Cheryl. Whenever I discover that I forgot to make a yarn over in the previous row, I do exactly the same thing that you do - pick up a strand between stitches and work it as a yarn over. This strand is a bit shorter than a yarn over and that makes this section of the fabric slightly tight, but it all evens out by blocking.

[@cindymaag4212]

Maryna - Is there a way to fix those dropped YO in the rows below?

[@10rowsaday]

The easiest and most versatile way to fix accidental yarn overs without unravelling the work is to close them with a few overhand stitches on the wrong side of the fabric. Simply take a piece of yarn, thread it into a wool needle or a sewing needle, turn the fabric to the wrong side, and stitch the hole. Make the overhand stitches small and delicate to keep them from showing on the right side of the fabric. When the hole is fixed weave in both yarn tails. Good luck!

How to replace a stitch by a yarn over?

[@10rowsaday]

If you want to add a stitch invisibly, without forming a hole, it is better to use the M1 increase method. Here's a link to a tutorial that explains how to do it - www.10rowsaday.com/m1increase Happy knitting :-)

I wish I'd seen this video before I ripped a load of stitches off my needle

[@10rowsaday]

No more ripping the stitches off, my friend! Most knitting mistakes can be fixed. Happy knitting :-)
