How to fix a stitch in crochet. Crochet is forgiving when making mistakes. If you realized that you made a mistake on a previous row some times it is possible to fix the mistake and move on instead of frogging. Gotta love that. The more complicated the pattern the less noticable the mistake will be. Watch my video to see this in action.

Basically you are working on a row, you go to make a stitch and realise that the stitch in the previous row is not there. You work the missing stitch into the previous row, slip stitch that stitch to the stitch next to it. then you go back to the stitch you just fixed and work the stitch on your prsent row on to it. Some patterns you don't that to slip stitch the missing stitch to a stitch in that row. You can just do your present stitch right on top of it and move on but that stitch will anchor it to the work. A pattern like that is the Navajo blanket. There is a simple front post double crochet in that pattern. If you miss that stitch you can just drop down, add it, and work your next stitch as normal.

I know this all seem complicated but it really is not. The more you crochet the more you will know which method will work for the project you are on. I will try to upload videos with different examples in the near future. Until then happy crocheting!
