How to unravel garter stitch safely

Keywords: garter stitch, mistake,

In this DROPS video we show how you can unravel a garter stitch safely.

You are working in garter stitch and you realize that you knitted too far, or maybe you see a mistake a few rows down. To knit backwards takes time, and for some slippery yarns it's not a great idea to pull out the needle to start unravel.

In this video we show how to unravel safely, by putting your needle into the stitches on the row you want to unravel to. Then you can pull out the needle and start unravel with no risk of loosing any stitches in the process.

Decide how far you want to unravel. Pick up the right leg of each stitch from the behind.
This way all stitches will turn the right way when you are ready, and you can start knitting again.

Molto utile, ma vorrei sapere se, così facendo , posso tagliare la parte sotto, o , in caso negativo, come posso togliere una parte sotto del lavoro. Grazie

Buongiorno Bruna. Si, se deve accorciare un lavoro, può riprendere le maglie come indicato e tagliare la parte in eccesso. Chiuderà poi le maglie sul ferro. Buon lavoro!
