How to unravel stocking stitch safely
You are working in stocking stitch and you realize that you knitted to 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.
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. If the working yarn end up in the wrong side, just move stitches over to the other needle.
