1. Split stitch. The small loop is 1 of the plies of yarn that was not knitted.
2. The red knitting needle points to the stitch to be repaired.
3. Undoing a stitch (bars), row by row. Use a small knitting needle to gently tug the bar & create a run. The knitting needle also captures the bars, making it easier to pick them up in sequential order later.
4. The stitch has been picked up, row by row for 3 rows. The stitch is on the right hand side of the needle and the next bar just above it. The crochet needle will be drawn towards the right, pulling the bar through and creating the next highest row's stitch.
