 1- Introduction

Undo rows if you see a hole in the knitted fabric.


 2- Insert needle in first bump

Identify the bump right under the first stitch, insert the empty needle in it.


3- Slide off

Slide off this stitch from the old needle so the bump forms a loop on the new needle.


 4- Pull yarn

Pull the working end of the yarn so it stays connected to the top stitch of the old needle in your non-dominant hand.

 5- Check for missing bump

Continue unraveling until no stitch has a missing bump underneath like this one.


 6- Get to the missing bump

Continue unraveling rows until all stitches have bumps underneath them. Stop when the top most stitch has working end of yarn tied to it and start knitting over again.
