  1. Yarn was inadvertently carried in front.
  2. The loops are unwound back to the stitch in question which is held on a 3.0 mm crochet needle (closest size I had to 2-3/4 mm, the knitting needle used for the piece.) A dpn (shown in gold) was used to pull & hold yarn from the loops.
  3. The crochet needle is used to create a chain from the yarn held on the knitting needle. The knitting needle helps to keep the yarn bars orderly.
  4. The stitches (chained) have been recreated, but the tension is not uniform. The red needle points to the column that held the incorrectly wrapped stitch.
  5. The tension of the stitches in the column has been adjusted by pulling on the stitches to fill them out with ease from the yarn "bars." The error has been corrected.
