Knitting Help - Correcting a Dropped Yarn-Over

In this video, I show you how simple it is to correct a dropped yarn-over (YO) from the previous row/round.
The sample I use in this video is from my Learn to Knit Lace pattern and tutorial:
verypink.com/2...
The scarf on the mannequin is Bay's Edge (not my design). Here is my Ravelry project page with details on the yarn, etc: www.ravelry.co...
The yarn I use is Knit Picks Stroll Gradient - it looks like this yarn may be discontinued. The needles are Knitter's Pride Ginger DPNs.

I’ve had to do this more than once. And it’s also a very good reason to put life lines in for when you don’t realize it soon enough and have to unravel back to a row you know is correct. And thank you for that wonderful tip as well.

Lifelines have saved me many times. Everyone should know this.

[@laneharkey8227]

I have done this often, and just guessed at how to correct my dropped yarn over. This was very informative to know that I guessed right. Thank you.

[@nadinewoods6971]

I'm just learning to knit so videos like this are soooo helpful! Thank you.

[@am_cosmos]

Oh thank you so much! This is exactly what I did and I was mad at myself for not counting halfway thru this shawl row and was lamenting having to tink back again.

[@aisoconnor]

Exactly what I needed just now. And you explain things so clearly. Thank you so much!

[@stitchy_linn]

Excellent and I’ve been doing this for years. Amusing to me you started purling on the WS and after that recovered YO you began knitting. I’ve done the same thing on a tutorial I was making myself. Glad to see I’m in good company!

[@madelainedaley2128]

I’ve learnt so much from your videos

[@janetodell9441]

Lifelines and stitch markers and counting stitches in each section before moving on is how I keep everything straight in lace knitting. This was all learned through making LOTS of mistakes.

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Love that fabric that your are creating. Thank for sharing that technique. ♥️

[@pattigolden1]

I've done this so many times, but usually it's 2 rows down (example: dropped YO on the RS, did WS row, spotted dropped YO on next RS)...I found that it's also pretty easy to fix, blocking fixed the tension...

[@christinevalentine3373]

@@verypinkknits Sorry Staci! So excited I relied on my very poor memory. Doh.

[@sheridaribordy4310]

Have you ever done a life line video? That has saved me many times.

[@noreenlou]

Thank you

[@toosilverme]

Thank you for this! I can use all the help correcting errors I can get! lol Just curious: How often do you count your stitches? Every completed row?

[@CC_Reads]

you can also use stitch markers every repeat, and if you find your repeat is off by one you dont ever have to count your whole row of stitches to find the error.

[@ginakendrick2581]

I'm doing my first pattern with ssk's And yo k2together. I noticed when I go to the next row that my lead leg is backwards. The yarn is not resting front to back like you described. I wonder what I'm doing wrong. I'm knitting two together properly.

[@heathertucker7056]

Very useful to know. Thank you.

[@janetsmith7147]

Yes. Thank you!

[@christinemednick8849]

Is that your pattern on that gorgeous shawl behind you? Please tell me where to find it if you can!

[@oscara8454]

Kind of like a m1L without knitting through the backloop.

[@verypinkknits]

Exactly! The yarn is mounted the same way on the needle.

[@johnawrzosek6127]

I just watched your video on dropped yarn overs. The sample is very pretty. Do you have a pattern using that style? Thanks

[@verypinkknits]

Johna - you'll always find everything you see in my videos listed out in the video description field. The sample I use in this video is from my Learn to Knit Lace pattern and tutorial: verypink.com/2011/05/18/learn-to-knit-lace/

[@susan-cc1nx]

What if u forget to yo

[@verypinkknits]

You can still pull up the strand of yarn from where the YO should be.

[@mlhans306]

Wonderfully easy fix…and SO well explained! Thank you! 😊💗🧶
