How to pick up dropped k1b Fisherman's Rib

[@madhurip2695]

I really can't thank you enough. I was about to give up on my 5 ft knitted scarf.

[@janefabel]

Thank Heavens for KZbin! Finding wonderful help videos like yours is allowing me to progress from a forever beginner to a kinda sorta intermediate knitter. Being able to correct errors is THE most important part of knitting. Thank you, thank you!

[@loritanner6903]

Yes! Me too!

[@marievea]

Thank you for making this video! It has saved me from ripping out my scarf and giving up on fisherman's rib forever. :)

[@sigridkutz4468]

Thank you for this video. After I watched your video I watched the video by "So Woolly" : How to fix mistakes when knitting the Fisherman's rib stitch. She also shows how to pick up stitches when the needle is off, but also what to do when you dropped a stitch to way below. That was a good thing to learn. I just thought you and others might want to know.

[@doadirockwell9317]

Oh my - you have saved my life or at least the life of my baby blanket...THANK YOU so much for this helpful video

[@nicolabrown3805]

Thank you so much for this. I'm a complete novice and learning by watching videos and making plenty of mistakes. This was a lifesaver half way through a fisherman's knit scarf.

[@lieslnew8247]

OMG. thank you thank you thank you thank you. I thought I was about to lose my whole piece of work. This video was a total lifesaver. ❤❤❤

[@noniraitblat2962]

I can't thank you enough. I was about 4 feet into a scarf with the Fisherman's Rib design when I realized that I'd dropped a stitch about 10 rows down. I had already found this particular site a while ago (when I decided to try the stitch) and thought I'd take a chance. I unraveled the 10 rows, followed your directions (the first time I got it backwards and had to take out 2 rows again but second time's a charm) and I'm back on track. Your instructions were so clear and the way you shot it made it so easy to follow. I'm so glad you decided to post. Thanks again.

[@saie25]

Omg you saved my LIFE. I'm making a scarf for my bf for Christmas. It's taken me countless hours to get the srutch right... I made ONE mistake and I nearly had to unpick everything. Thank you so, so much for the help

[@TinaTigs]

I don’t know how anyone could leave a thumbs down...this tutorial saved my jumper when I had to unpick about 10 rows as decreased too many on sleeves decreases on the back of my jumper, I thought I was going to have to bin the project, but this video was so easy to follow and I am now back up and running

[@christinemisic4514]

Thank you so much! I’ve just gotten in to Fishermans knit and 10” into my scarf I realized there was a mistake at the edge…..I wouldn’t bother but it’s for a gift.I was so happy to find your video!!!

[@shylaruppert8623]

I wanted to thank you for posting this. I did notice that when you knitted the new row you did not alternate knit, purl. When I fixed my scarf I alternated stiches and it turned out perfect.

[@jacquigley5358]

I thought this too, thank you for sharing that the alternated stitches work out ! I’m off to give it a go.

[@vuslatoztopcu7108]

Thank you so much for making this video. Thanks to you I have corrected the mistakes I made in my fisherman's rib knitting. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart.🙋‍♀️💐

[@monellerichmond7208]

So nice of you to take the time to post this. Repairing this stitch is difficult and frustrating, even for an experienced knitter!

[@helenk.c.4462]

Thank you so much for sharing your video on how to fix a k1b. I struggled for a few hours trying to figure how to fix it before I came across your video. this video saved me from getting even more frustrated.

[@lindacornesparker]

Found this after knitting four feet of scarf and dropping ALL the stitches! Fantastic video - I've added a link on my Rav project page for this video for other desperate knitters. So clear and helpful - you are wonderful!

[@nannagollo]

Thank You so much for posting! It was really difficult to find a video that shows how to correct the fisherman’s rib - specifically this way! 😊 🙏🏻

[@nirmalasheeran9809]

Thank you so much. I’m new to knitting and this is my second scarf. So, even though I knew I made mistakes , I continued not knowing how to fix it. Was confidently , unraveled and was able to fix it following your instructions. Can’t thank you enough.

[@michellecrawford9208]

Thank you so much!! Ive thrown 3 pieces of knitting away and restarted it because of a dropped stitch, now i will know in future i can fix it thanks to you :) you are a lifesaver!

[@grethatuls5865]

Thank you so much! I was in complete dispair but you helped me save my work!

[@Mom2Derby]

I can’t thank you enough for this!! I just did the exact same thing you did and as a new knitter was in the process of ripping it out when I found you!

[@silvergreen17]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm working fisherman's rib in the round, so the ladders actually ended up at the back of the work. As I was continuing the pattern, I couldn't figure out why I was getting loops of yarn hanging from my stitches. Your video is demonstrating that there's an additional step to fix it, so I am very grateful that you posted this. I'll be purling the ladders, so hoping everything still comes together and I don't have to frog the whole thing. 🤞

[@patriciah6063]

Wow. You’re a genius for figuring this out. I did, however, get a little nervous at the point where, after knitting across the row I turned my work and saw all wrapped stitches?! (My original work didn’t resemble this at all, so I couldn’t see how this could work.) BUT I went with it anyway and, miraculously, it absolutely did work! Thank you so very much!!!

[@sarahfair33]

You are an ANGEL FROM HEAVEN. PSA, y'all, don't drink and knit fisherman's rib. It has a tragically unhappy ending. Fortunately, there's this video to set you straight when you sober up. Thank you, Courtney!!

[@primroads]

My knitted cap is off to you, Courtney. I have been knitting a double strained two color fisherman’s rib hat for a couple of weeks, with a number of pull outs. Your video has kept me from giving up!

[@emilydieperink4190]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! My stitches fell off in the middle of my scarf and I was panicking. After watching I was able to save it. You are a godsend :)

[@tc-pw2pe]

Thank you so so so much for making this video...I wish I had the idea of looking up on KZbin when I first made the mistake. It's frustrating to start over and over again. But grateful for this video👍🙏

[@bonam1305]

Thanks a lot. You saved me and my sweater. I have struggled all day but l found your video finally.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

[@Rather_be_in_Whoville]

Oh my! I have been doing the fix all wrong which made it so frustrating. I didn't find this until starting over several times. So I will begin again and thank you very much for posting this. I have renewed hope 😄

[@jacquiehoulder6024]

Brilliant! Thank you very much. I have just started a project in fisherman's rib - a copy of a sweater I bought 30 years ago which is finally due for retirement. 1inch in and I have already made a mistake and was contemplating having to put in a safety line every 10 rows or so. Knowing how to correct a dropped stitch is much easier.

[@susanparker5904]

Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I found this! You are a knitting angel! It took me three times to get it right, but for some reason my “ladders” needed to be the opposite of yours, but once I figured that out and got all the stitches where they needed to be, I was back in business and I would never have figured out that stitch anatomy by myself! A million thanks!

[@francaparks4791]

You are a genius! Thank you so much for posting this video. I thought I was doomed to having to start over but I managed to save my work thanks to you.

[@marycastelli5768]

Hi Courtnay......thank u so much for this tutorial. I Was knitting my Fishermans knit scarf while watching the footy last night (AUSSIE RULES, I'm in Australia) & somehow got to end of last row & discovered I had an odd number of stitches, as I'd also had two wines I figured I'd better wait till morning to figure out how to fix this. I just googled exactly what your description says & voila, up came your video & now I'm back on track, so thank you & have a wonderful day XX

[@MNMusika]

Oh my!!! Thank you for posting 😭😭😭 I thought i’d have to unravel my work since I can’t figure out how to fix my dropped stitches last night.

[@mariannerodney6838]

Brilliant Video! Fisherman’s Rib soooo difficult,t to pick up until I watched this. Thank you so so much for your effort

[@jlbennett428]

This was genius. Thank you so much for posting - I was ready to hit my local knitting shop in the morning and seek professional help!

[@sylvie4462]

Thank you so much for posting the video; you saved my husband's life!

[@rachellespantry6325]

OMG! AMAZING!!! TALK ABOUT A LIFELINE! This is it for a fisherman's rib! I thought I was going to have to pull my 250 stitches X 100 rows out! THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@nancycampbell7959]

Genius!! I wish I'd found this before I ripped out my project, but now I won't be afraid to try the stitch again. Thanks so much.

[@veronicacampbell5798]

You are truly a lifesaver as I am a new knitter and have a hard time fixing my mistakes, thanks a million.

[@miastorrier9686]

Thank so much! You’ve just saved my Christmas present. I’ve lost a day’s work but thankfully haven’t had to start a near finished object all over.

[@momaltier]

Hi Courtney, I could hug you. I have ripped out this Sherpa I’m making with this stitch 30 times Cause I couldn’t figure it out. I thank you sooooo very very much for this tutorial. I can not Thank you enough. God bless you. Karen Altier. July 2018

[@graciej2799]

Thank you SO MUCH!! I've been looking everywhere for picking up k1b stitches after frogging. All I could find were tutorials on unknitting. Favoriting this!

[@Ginius87]

Thank you so much for this video! Late last night, down to my last foot of my daughter's scarf, I messed up and didn't set up a safety line, feeling confident... big mistake, ended up taking our a bunch, trying to fix it, but couldn't figure it out! I Almost cried hahahahaha!

[@sherylsnow4193]

I tried to fix the hat I am working on by dropping stitches but was not successful. I then frogged a few rows below the problem area but was puzzled as to how to put the stitches back on.I dreaded starting from cast-on. Your video saved me!. Thank you

[@watermellen89]

THANK YOU! You saved my scarf! I was just on the verge of ripping it all out and starting over when I found your video.

[@aharbecke]

Thank you a million times for posting this. I couldn't find a way to fix it anywhere!

[@Sylvrn]

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm new to knitting and was using a k1, k1b stitch labelled 'brioche rib' from an old book of my mom's and screwed up on a scarf, frogged it a line and couldn't figure out how to string it back on again @.@ Thankfully someone linked your video in a reddit post on r/knitting about how to fix k1 k1b and I was able to fix it!

[@beckykerrigan9873]

[@jannateltemann7695]

Thank you so much, really helpful! After reading some comments about a cardigan I wanted to knit on ravelry, I realized I would have to learn to fix k1b before I would need it. Did not find much help online, but this was all I needed!

[@carlaanderson8994]

This video saved my sanity!

[@theotherside8]

thank you so much for this video!!!!! !!! happy knitting everyone ;-)

[@arwen521]

This was helpful in picking up my stitches, but my pattern is p1, k1b. I was confused when you knit every stitch after picking them up. Should I do something different to continue my pattern?

[@courtneyspainhower8528]

Yes indeed! The fisherman's rib is a bit more like brioche so they manner in which the stitches are worked is different. For twisted rib (p1, k1b), I suggest searching a how-to for that specific technique.
