A dropped stitch is a live loop that has fallen from the needle and may unravel down the fabric.
What it is
A dropped stitch is a live loop that has fallen from the needle and may unravel down the fabric.
How Ruke patterns use it
Ruke Knowledge treats repair as part of calm knitting support: secure the loop first, identify whether it belongs to knit or purl fabric, then rebuild only the affected column.
When to use it
Use this guide as soon as a loose loop or vertical ladder is found.
What to check
Check the fabric side, the number of unravelled rows and whether shaping occurred inside the dropped column.
Common mistakes
Pulling the fabric before securing the loop, rebuilding in the wrong direction, or missing an increase or decrease row.
