How do you fix a lost stitch in knitting?

How do you lose a stitch?
To make a dropped stitch, act as if you are going to make a knit or purl stitch as normal, but instead of just wrapping the yarn around the needle once, wrap it two or three times. If you’re working from a pattern, it will tell you how many times to wrap the yarn around.
Can’t find dropped stitch?

Can you fix a dropped stitch?

One reason for loose edge stitches can be that the needle tips are repeatedly pulled too far apart, stretching the yarn between the neighboring stitches. The yarn slack accumulates at the last stitch of the row. Keep your tips close together while knitting.
What happens though if you stitch too near the edge?
If you’re getting a column of loose stitches along the edge of your knitting, it’s probably a sign that the tension is uneven between your end stitches and the center ones. When you’re knitting the edge stitches, tug the working yarn a little tighter than you normally would to help keep the stitch a little smaller.
