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 For more details about this method, go to www.10rowsaday.com/fix-dropped-... #knitting #knit

If you have selvedge stitches at the sides of your project, attach the new yarn after you work the selvedges. This way, the pattern at the side edges will not get interrupted. For more details www.10rowsaday.com/join-yarn #knitting #knit #crochet #handmade #beginnerknitter #justknitting

A colourwork swatch grows on a circular knitting needle. The background colour is a medium brown beige. The contrast colour is an acacia green. The motif is foliage, with little flecks in between.

When we make a stockinette fabric, the process of picking up a dropped stitch is quite straightforward - we knit unravelled strands one by one through the dropped stitch to rebuild the column of knitted stitches.

In “emergency” cases, we can use dry blocking to make our knits if not perfect, but at least considerably better looking. For more details about this method www.10rowsaday.com/dry-blocking #knitting #knit #knitsky #knittingsky #knitter #handknit #beginnerknitter #showmeyourknits #knitwear #crochet
Even when we are extra careful to make our projects neat, the knitted fabric is never perfectly even right after we finish our hats, socks, mittens and sweaters (or whatever else we are making).

Some stitches are often a little bit bigger than the rest of the stitches and that gives the fabric a slightly messy look.

This small imperfection is easily fixed by blocking, but we need at least 24 hours to properly block a knitted project.

What if we don’t have that much time or simply don’t want to wait that long? If you’ve ever finished a knitted gift hours before you have to present it, or if you’ve ever wanted to put a new sweater on right after you bound off stitches, you’ll know what I mean 

In these and other “emergency” cases, we can use dry blocking to make our knits if not perfect, but at least considerably better looking.

All it takes is a few minutes and three simple steps.

To make a bar increase in Eastern knitting, we should reverse the steps and knit a stitch through the back loop before we knit it through the front loop For more details about this method www.10rowsaday.com/russian-bar-... #knitting #knit #crochet #crocheter #handmade #beginnerknitter #justknitting
When we knit using the Eastern (previously known as Russian) knitting style, the stitches have a different orientation on the needles. Unlike the stitches worked using any of the classic knitting styles, in Eastern knitting, the right leg of a stitch is at the back of the knitting needle. That’s why if we want to make an increase by knitting a stitch “front and back” we get a result that does not look like a bar increase in the classic knitting.

To make a bar increase in Eastern knitting, we should reverse the steps and knit a stitch through the back loop before we knit it through the front loop.

Dropped edge stitches are fairly easy to fix when we understand what’s going on at that scary messy part of our project. For more details about this method www.10rowsaday.com/fix-garter-e... #knitting #knit #crochet #crocheter #handmade #beginnerknitter #justknitting #knitsky #knittingsky #knitter
Dropped edge stitches are scary. They make the edge of the fabric look so messy that it seems that the only way to fix it is to undo everything and start from scratch.

Fortunately, the hopelessness of this situation is just an illusion. Dropped edge stitches are fairly easy to fix when we understand what’s going on at that scary messy part of our project.

We’ve already discussed a simple way to fix a dropped edge stitch in a project worked in stockinette stitch or the one that has slip-stitch selvedges (you’ll find that tutorial right here).

Now, let’s see how we can fix the edge of a project worked in garter stitch, or the one decorated with garter stitch selvedges.

Centred single decreases are very helpful when we shape a crown of a hat, a shawl or when we add shaping to the center of a project. For more details about this method www.10rowsaday.com/centred-sing... #knitting #knit #knitsky #knitter #handknit #beginnerknitter #showmeyourknits #knitwear
It is good that there is a variety of ways to make left-slanting and right-slanting decreases. But what if we want to decrease one stitch without forming a slant? What if we want a single decrease to be centred? 

Centred single decreases are very helpful when we shape a crown of a hat, a shawl or when we add shaping to the center of a project, like making darts in a fitted sweater.

There are two ways to make these decreases. The first way works best for one off decreases like forming frills on skirts or puffy sleeves. The other way is helpful in cases when we want to create a more or less centred line of decreases.
