How to repair a missed slip stitch

Hi Guys.

I guess I'm doing short rows on a shawl shaped collar. I knit a
certain number of stitches, turn and slip the 1st stitch on the WS,
knit to the end and on the next RS knit 5 stitches further than the
previous RS. I realized I forgot to slip a stitch about 4 rows back.

Would I unravel that stitch to the correct row, and when I go to
repair the run, just not pull the yarn through that row? If not, how
do you correct a missed slip stitch?

TIA

Hersira,
Try taking a crochet needle and pull it up with that.

Thanks, Pam.

I do know about the crochet hook, and if it was a dropped stitch, I'd
know what to do. My problem is I forgot to slip a stitch. I figured
I could unravel the column of stitches down to the row below where the
slipped stitch is supposed to be and rather than drawing a loop
through the rung on the ladder that represents that row, I'd skip that
one.

Does anyone know if that is right? I tried to find a book at BAM with
answers and I tried to google it, but so far, no luck.

Hersira,
Stick a cable needle or knitting needle through a line that you want
to unravel.
And unravel slowly until you get to the line with the knitting or
cable stick in it. Pull out the knitting needle or cable needle,
carefully put the needle in the empty loops then continue knitting.

Btw, I got those two ideas on correct a stitch or line from Stitch 'N
bitch The Knitters Handbook. Excuse the expression that the book title
has but that is what its called.
Pam-Doggirl3

Thanks, Pam. That's OK about the title. I've got that book too.

Smiles,

I, OTOH, decline to purchase that book because of the impolite word in
the title.

Just my opinion.

Ordinarily I like to do the drop-down-and-fix methods, but since
you forgot to slip the stitch, there was an extra stitch, and there
will be an extra stitch on every row because of that. One could be
eased into the rest of the row, but trying to do that on every row
is likely to make that edge of the collar loose and sloppy. My
advice is to run a lifeline through the row of stitches you did
correctly and then rip back the four rows that are wrong. If
it were in the body of the sweater you could hide it in the seam
but the collar is highly visible and the edge really matters.

Thanks Tamar.

I'm having a hard time understanding the extra stitch part of it. The
slipped stitch is where the short row turn occurs, and it doesn't
change the number of stitches, it just isn't knit. Do you mean there
are extra stitches vertically? I thought the slip stitches were put
at the beginning of rows to create a neat edge.

Sorry for my denseness.
