How do you fix having one too many stitches on your needle when knitting?

The more complicated method is to tear out the row and reknit the row. If you have knitted a few rows, and you see the project getting wider, knit two stitches together. Depending on the type of yarn, you may not even be able to see the mistake. Knitting two stitches together, may make an unveven, or hole appearance in the work, but it will prevent the project from getting wider.

Another method is to make a loop on your needle at that point, then continue the pattern. To make the loop, make a loop with your fingers in the opposite direction of the pattern. I.E. if you are doing a knit stitch, loop the yarn in the opposite direction from the knit. Continue the pattern as normal.

∙ 13y agoYou can add stitches before you begin by casting on more, but when you are knitting and you want the number of stitches to increase to shape the knitting, you need to make a stitch called an 'increase.' This is fairly simple.
(Note that this is meant for normal knitting) You do one or two normal stitches before and then insert the right needle in the next stitch so that it goes behind the left needle. You then make the loop with the working wool, but instead of continuing, you hold the working wool, slip the right needle back a little and insert the in the loop again (make sure you go from the bottom to the top) and then make the loop again, then continue and finish the stitch. You should now have two new stitches on the right needle. You have now increased the amount of stitches, meaning that your knitting grows in shape. The new stitches will be quite tight, it may also be a little hard to push the needle in for a second time because some space is taken up already by the wool.

How many stitches for knitting needle number 8 per inch?
The number of stitches you need per inch depends on the type of fabric you are sewing. The weight, thickness and type of fabric sewn will determine the stitch length you use. In a quilt, you will have fewer stitches, such a six or eight per inch. For a seam on clothing, a medium weight fabric will use 10 - 12 stitches, for heavier fabrics, 8 -10 will work better. In knitting and crochet, the stitches per inch are determined by the size of your needles, the tension you use when working the stitches, and the weight of the yarn or thread. The pattern you use will specify the stitches and needles you need, called the gauge.

How do you crochet cables and lace broom stick pattern?
It is a form of knitting using broomsticks as needles. In modern times the broomsticks are replaced by oversized knitting needles. The method is most common in making afghans and lace where large loopy stitches are desired. Although the tool used does resemble a knitting needle, I classify broomstick lace in crochet. However, I think it is really a blend of the two. You begin by making a row of chain stitches, but the loops are kept on the hook like in knitting, but then are worked off with a crochet hook. You can find videos demonstrating the method at YouTube and also web sites with instructions that show pictures. I like to use the #50 needle, but broomstick lace can be worked with smaller needles as well.
