Pick up a dropped stitch in the row below by using a knit stitch or purl stitch. To pick up (fix) a dropped stitch by using the knit stitch, you first find and secure the dropped stitch. Continue knitting the current row until you reach the secured stitch directly below.

Now, with the knit side of your work facing, you can fix the dropped stitch.

Insert your RH needle into the front of the dropped stitch.

Look behind the stitch. You’ll see the horizontal strand of yarn that didn’t get pulled through.

With the RH needle, go under the unworked strand from the front.
