Unravelling several rows
First use a spare smaller gauge needle and slide it into the knitting to pick up the row of stitches just below the error. Remove the needle from the top of the work and gently pull to unravel back to the stitches on the lower needle. These garments are as much fun to knit as they are to wear. From a demure Cap-Sleeve Tunic to a pretty Cable Shrug, an exquisite Drop-stitch Cardigan to a Stripy Joe jumper, the easy-going designs in this chapter are both classic and contemporary.
