Putting Stitches Back On Your Knitting Needles (when they all fall off!)

[@animefan2007bg]

Thank you so much Hannah! You saved me from having to rip back all my knitting and taught me how the stitches should sit correctly on the needles so I can spot mistakes before it's too late. Excellent Teacher ☺

[@KnitWithHannah]

Yay! That's great news. So glad this helped. Happy knitting 🧶🎄

[@hill7912A]

Thanks so much - you are the first person who managed to explain how to get the stitches back in the correct direction!

[@KnitWithHannah]

Glad it was helpful! Happy knitting🧶

[@uauauuauauahahhaha]

THANK YOU SOOOOO FREAKING MUCH!! my stitches AAALWAYS falls off the needle and i AAAAALWAYS have to just start back all over again. youre a lifesaver! ❤️

[@KnitWithHannah]

You're so welcome! Happy knitting 🧶

[@SewingDee]

What a game changer. I've never known that the front of the stitch needs to be a the right and the back on the left (not even my ever patient granny explained that all those years ago). If only I'd know that years before I might have continued knitting when I was young and not have become so frustrated. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Happy to help! Happy knitting 🧶

Thank you! This allowed me to do my homework for my next knitting class! Your tutorials are the best! 🤩

[@KnitWithHannah]

That’s good! Happy knitting 🧶

[@CaptainSwanEternity]

Thank you so much for making this video, you literally saved me hours of work. Last time this happened to me I had to start over and I didn’t want to do that again.

[@KnitWithHannah]

Yay! that's great. It's such a life-saver isn't it? happy knitting!

[@madisonstewart1650]

Thank you so much I was about to cry

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hey Madison, Thank goodness we prevented that! Happy knitting 🧶

[@julierocketqueen6257]

THANK YOU for this!! I just started knitting about 6 weeks ago, and I drop stitches all the time. I didn’t know how to pick them backbup again so I always pulled the whole project out whenever one slipped off ☹️☹️☹️. This video was super helpful, thank you for sharing!

[@KnitWithHannah]

Glad it was helpful! happy knitting 😍

[@maverickcruise99]

Thank you so much for this video. My better half who is a brilliant knitter normally always sorts my crimed errors out, as I'm only doing garter stitch at the moment some of the errors represent invented knits bless as she put it bless her. Or coil around the needle so tight as if snake like waiting to strike so funny. BUT I want to be more independent 59yrs young and just got into this addicive pastime. If you need a scarf I'm your man lol. Used two yarns together and two gauges of yarn together loved the effects. As I stripped off about 7 rows early hours to sorted my bad and put back on needle, unsuccessful I'm afraid. I will follow your guide and come back to you. Many thanks and kind regards Woolly

[@KnitWithHannah]

Sounds like you’re doing great! Being able to fix your own mistakes is a brilliant way to go. Happy knitting 🧶

[@kirstiemycroft3332]

Thank you. This just helped save my knitting when I had to go back and redo a mistake.

[@KnitWithHannah]

That’s good to know! Hope it all went well when you were back on track. Happy knitting 🧶

[@GingerK8]

0.35 - 0.45 😂 that was unexpected, very funny! Enormously helpful video too - thank you! 😊

[@KnitWithHannah]

I’m so glad this video was helpful for you. And that you had a good giggle too! When knitting goes wrong laughing at it can help so much, otherwise it can get even more disastrous! Happy knitting 🧶

[@lovelickyyy0]

Can you please do it for a brioche stitch

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hi @norzam999 This isn't on my horizon at the moment, it might be something for the future though. Happy knitting 🧶

[@onzeeleven11]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you for taking the time to do this!! I’m still a rookie, but a perfectionist at heart, so I wanted to start over and couldn’t figure out how to keep going!! Thank you!!

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hi Andréann, yay! so glad you could sort this out. happy knitting!😀

[@gretchengggriffiths5133]

Thank you Hannah!!

[@KnitWithHannah]

You're welcome! happy knitting :)

[@spambotful]

Good video. I’ve just started knitting and this will be handy as I keep ripping out stitches and struggle to get them right way around. 😣

[@KnitWithHannah]

So glad this was useful for you! Happy knitting!

[@kylie6243]

26 seconds in, not even sure if you can help me yet, but I'm already relaxed

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hi Kylie! thanks for your comment - I'm so glad you felt relaxed, hope all your stitches are back in place now. Happy knitting! 😍

[@kylie6243]

@@KnitWithHannah You are lovely! I understood your logic completely. The problem is... I'm a lefty so I'm not sure if it would be the opposite :(

[@KnitWithHannah]

@@kylie6243 OK, you want the loops eventually sitting on the right hand needle with the left-hand part of the loop at the front so you can knit into it. I think there are apps that will mirror the video for you - then you'll get it right (just switch the sound off or I'll be telling you right when you need left etc.)

[@denisa-mv8ex]

I haven't finished the video yet but GOD i know this will be a life saver

[@KnitWithHannah]

Great! yes, when you need it, it's nice to know how to fix your knitting. :D

[@franziskadodl6601]

So helpful! But how do you handle when you’ve slipped the edge stitches? It’s confusing me which order they’re supposed to go in.

[@KnitWithHannah]

Unless you’re slipping them over the second stitch before you knit them, they will be first and last to return to the row on the needles. Happy knitting 🧶

[@joya3468]

Will it be the other way around when you're left handed? Left at the front?

[@KnitWithHannah]

Possibly, depends on how you’re knitting. If you’re moving the stitches from the right needle to the left as you knit a row, then yes. Happy knitting 🧶

[@JelscreationsNmore]

Thank you for this I'm so frustrated I have been a self taught knitter for yrs and I never learned how to fix it so I only knit once in a while I usually crochet seems like everytime I try it ends falling off the hook or gets a mess and I have to tear it apart I'm a hat for Christmas and ive had to redo it 3 times 1st time I made 2 stiches wrong I did a k where there was supposed to be a p and p where a k was anyway 2nd time I only had 3 more rows to go and my kitten got ahold of it and tore off a half row I didn't know how to fix it so I had to redo it thanks for showing this

[@KnitWithHannah]

So glad you were able to put it back on the needle without starting over. happy knitting 🧶

[@JelscreationsNmore]

@@KnitWithHannah i did have to ive restarted it 6 times

[@aliciajohnson6489]

😂 This one saved my life.

Hi Alicia, I'm so glad this was helpful! Happy knitting! 😍

Thank you! This was incredibly helpful! I’m no longer crying lol !

I'm so glad it helped! Happy knitting 🧶

[@fallingcloudberries]

Hi, this is such a great video! I'm still a bit stuck because I've been alternating between knitting and purling - is it the same process for purling or do I need to turn them the other way round?

[@KnitWithHannah]

Hi Emm, the stitches need to look the same on the needles, no need to swap their orientation. Happy knitting 🧶

[@AliciaBarr]

How do i do this with a double stitch?? I’m knitting a double stockinette stitch and there’s a front and back

[@KnitWithHannah]

Ack! That’s a tough one. If you can unravel one stitch at a time, rather than taking a whole row off the needle. Or if the stitches have fallen off, you may need to put the stitches back in as best you can and approach each double stitch one at a time as you prepare to knit them. One option is to do a small sample of double stitch on spare needles with leftover yarn, so you have the ‘correct’ version to refer to as you replace them. Hope that helps! Happy knitting 🧶

[@Krystal_0340]

I have really think needles so when I try to do it it pulls them down so I don’t know where they are are you able to help with that :)

[@KnitWithHannah]

If you have thinner needles move them onto a thinner one first, then you can move them over to the thick needle as you knit the next row. Happy knitting 🧶

[@Krystal_0340]

Ty I already did that last night after I commented but tysm for helping and responding I hope I can Learn a lot of knitting things off of you :>

[@katibere1966]

Thank you!! I am a new knitter and this always scares me!😳

[@KnitWithHannah]

You can do it! It'll get easier the more times you have to do it! (Yep, it even happens to me and I've been knitting for over 40 years!) happy knitting!
