Generally in crochet, you don't have "dropped" stitches, that is a knitting term for stitches which have been skipped (accidentally), or which have actually dropped off the needle when you weren't looking.
To pick up a knitted dropped stitch, you knit to where the "hole" is in your current row, then using a crochet hook, hook each stitch to the row above. (see the videos I have attached as links to this question).
In crochet, there are no "dropped" stitches, there are stitches that you missed or skipped. If you realize that you have managed to skip over a stitch, there are a couple things you can do.
One would be to decide if having skipped over the stitch are you okay with just leaving it skipped? If so, continue with your project, figuring that if the stitch is skipped, it just shows that it was hand-made, because of the boo-boo's.
If you can, you might think about adding a stitch to the current row that you are on. You do that with an "increase." Increase by having the base of two stitches come out of one stitch from the row below, this will increase the current row by one.
If you really think that you need to go back and re-work from the skipped stitch, then you can go ahead and frog back (rippit, rippit--get it?), to the skipped stitch and go on with your pattern from there.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what stitch, normal, garter, seed, stockinette . . . The best thing to do is to get a book on knitting (I have one from the Visual series and it's brilliant) or look on the internet, there are loads of sites that teach how to knit loads of stitches, and give free patterns and troubleshooting.

∙ 10y agoSlip it off the needle. I know, its scary and non-intuitive. But if the directions say drop, that's what you do. I have a shawl pattern that calls for dropping stitches for like 6 inches (or maybe more). But it looks really cool when its done.

∙ 16y agoWith a crochet hook! Simplest way to do it is to find the dropped stitch, then pattern your way to the stitch count where you dropped it, and use the crochet hook to work the stitch up to the needle. Depending on your pattern, the hook will mimic a knit stitch easily or will mimic the purl if you use it from the back side.

What does picking up and knitting wraps together mean when following a pattern?
Assuming that in the previous row you have wrapped stitches it is now time to pull those wraps up onto the needle and knit them together with stitches to prevent holes from forming in the knit fabric. Knit up to the next wrapped stitch but do not knit the wrapped stitch yet. When viewing the knitting from the public (front or knit) side, insert the tip of the right needle into the wrap on the front side of the work and pull it up, over the stitch it is wrapped around, over the tip of the left needle and to the BACK of the work. The wrap is on on the needle, behind the original stitch. Knit the wrap together with it's stitch as if you were knitting two together through the back loops. When viewing the knitting from the private (back or purl) side, insert the tip of the right needle into the wrap on the BACK side of the work. You will have to peek over the top of your needles to see where to catch the wrap. Pull it up, over the stitch it is wrapped around, over the tip of the left needle and to the BACK of the work. The wrap is on on the needle, in front of but to the left of the original stitch. Purl the wrap together with it's stitch as if you were purling two together.

Do not use a closed stitch marker, those are for knitting. A crochet stitch marker looks like a giant safety pin, or you can use a regular safety pin.

How can you make a stitch in knitting a not make a hole?
The best way is to knit the bar between the stitches. This is known as a 'bar increase', and there are how-to's and videos online. If you pull your knitting apart slightly, you'll see a bar just beneath the point on the needles where you are knitting. Put your right needle under this bar, lift it up and put it on your left needle. Knit it as normal. Ta-da! Now you have one more stitch.

Is it bad if you accidentally dropped your pizza and picked it up quicker?
In general, where you drop it and how quickly you pick it up matter. If it dropped face down on a reasonably clean floor, pick it up quickly and you should be good. Bacteria doesn't have time to act, even if it takes you 10 seconds to pick it up. If you dropped it on sand or a dirty floor, you might want to give it up.
