Fixing a Dropped Edge Stitch in Three Simple Steps

How to Fix a Dropped Edge Stitch Without a Crochet Hook

Have you ever dropped the first or the last stitch of a row? If you have, then you probably know that when the edge stitches unravel, they turn side edges of the fabric into an ugly mess of tangled strands.

How to Fix a Dropped Edge Stitch Without a Crochet Hook

It might look scary, but we can easily fix this mess when we follow three simple steps.

If the edge of your project is decorated with slip-stitch selvedges, each loop at the edge will represent only one edge stitch. That means that you should skip steps 3.3 and 3.4 when you fix the edge of your project.
