Clear, concise, and no distracting extraneous chatter. Really useful to know how these ‘bad’ stitches occur in the first place. Thank you so much - I would post 1000 likes if I could!
Thank you so much! Tension solves 90% of the issues!
I came to the comments to say exactly the same thing. The photos with arrows were great too! Really helps to make sure you’re looking at exactly what you should be. Great explanations and quality lighting and just close enough of an angle to see every detail I needed to see. Very well done, thank you!
Agree 💯
A calming tutorial for a frustrating problem haha. I feel better now. 😂
Yes, a very frustrating problem. But, it gets so much easier when you are able to catch problems right away.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!!! I've been ripping out my work and starting them all over again because I didnt know that I could fix it! Your videos are the BEST ones out there!! Thank you so much for all your time and effort in putting these videos together. ❤
Thank you so much!
Sameee
By far the best straight forward, patient, fix-it tutorial I have sewn in a long time, without all the extra commentary. It's not too long, but just what I need. Very well done and great clarity in your video of showing EXACTLY what we should see and being doing. ❤
Thank you so much!
I agree!!! And very good explanation
By far the best video I've seen so far explaining how to identify/fix stitches. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us as well as explaining the cause of the dropped and tucked stitches as well.. You get straight to the point, explain everything clearly and add how to blend it at the end! I used this a year ago, after you posted it and am using it again today (a year later lol) I cannot thank you enough for this video!
You're welcome! I'm happy that it is helping others!
The best. Before seeing this I was going to return my Addi.
Thank you for this tutorial! I’m brand new to circular knitting and I know I’ll need this knowledge sooner rather than after. I’ve saved it for future use.
Best tutorial yet! I’ve seen so many tucked stitches and always wondered why they pop up. You’ve been a great help! I feel so much more confident in fixing dropped stitches ( and fixing the tension!)
Thank you so much!
Well… now I see why it was so hard for me.. I was not doing all the steps. After watching you…I got it..thanks
No problem! It's easier to see how it done.
Thank you for showing the difference between the two and also importantly how to blend. I'd managed to fix a few dropped stitches on a scarf I'm making but now I've been able to blend them in so it looks a lot neater! Much appreciated!
The slowing down and multiple angles is very helpful with the clear explanation!
Thank you so much!
Thankyou so much for showing us how to do this. ❤
Thankyou. I was about to return my machine. I don.t know how to avoid the problems. I.ve watched videos for tips but my work is good to start but as it gets longer , the issues start. I like this video! Not full of extra chatter
After finding this tutorial yesterday, I had to use this !! Thanks so much !
TYSM THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME!
brilliantly explained thank-you
Thank goodness I found this video, I just got my machine and it has so many drop and tuck stitches 😅😅 was at a loss of what to do or how to save my piece - really appreciate this.
It's easy to fix once you learn how. Have fun!
Thanks so much for such a great video, you show things so clearly,
You are an absolute life saver thank you for such a straightforward and clear tutorial
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! Someone recommended your channel to me and I am so glad they did! I had these stitches and had no idea how to fix them or how they even happened so I was given a link to this video. I have now subscribed. So thankful for you explaining all this, now I know what to look for even before it happens❤. Thank you so much!
Thank you!!
❤ thanks for the tutorial !!
Hiya 🤗. Thank you for letting people know that to not have to do that tedious process just be careful when knitting.
Yes, I agree! Tension is the key to perfect knitting.
This is the best knitting machine tucked and dropped stitch video!! Very informative!! Not only showing and clearly explaining how to fix it but how it happens so I can see how to prevent it!! Thanks so much!!

Большое спасибо за это видео. Очень помогло. Сегодня сделала как вы показали. Супер👍
Absolutely Amazing video, I thank you for showing how simple it is to fix, Now I will use what you have shown to fix my stiches. All my work has one or more perfections and it gets frustrating trying to figure out out to fix it, Your video was simple to follow, Thank you for taking the time to show everyone how to do it.
You are so welcome!
I've had to repair a few stitches, and did do it this way (I can crochet!)..thanks for your work, you explaind it so well!
You're welcome! Happy to help.
Very helpful thanks
You're welcome!
Good info. Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video. About a week ago I got my Addi out to start on my hats for the shelter---everything was going great and then on hat 14 I had a drop stitch. My remedy has always been to take my project off the machine and start over again. Thank you again for sharing your solution to solve this problem.
You are so welcome! Very easy fix especially if you can catch them early.
Got my machine this morning, first try got two dropped stitches didn't know how to fix so it got unraveled and re-balled second try was excellent until I dropped two stitches while casting off! 😩
Thank you for this video!!!❤
You're welcome! It takes a little practice but you will get there!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2023. Congratulations 🏆Yes the BEST video. You are very HUMBLE. You've got a very soft voice and a pleasure to listen to. I wasn't looking for Sentro tutorials but this video popped in front of my eyes. So well explained and in detail. Thanks Cameraperson for this excellent filming and close up. A big hug from my 4 year 70 kilo water rescue Newfoundland and me. 🤗🤗👍👍👍💐💐💐
Thank you so much!
Thank you! I always wondered how to fix the tension after fixing the stitch, now I know.
You are so welcome! It's a hand knitting trick.
@@CalumetKnits nod
Very helpful, thank you! 😊
You're so welcome!
You saved my hat, thanks!
Happy to help!
Best tutorial so far that I have found so far. Clear instructions and clean, up close video. Thank you so much. Have a great week 😊 subscribed 😊
You're very welcome! and Thank you so much!
Excellent tutorial. Very clear camera angles and explanations. I didn’t know about putting the next bar over the end of crochet hook then back on again to get the stitch on the hook over. I struggle sometimes getting the stitch over the bar but your way makes the bit a lot easier. Many thanks. 😊
Awesome, thank you! Sometimes you just need to see a different way to do things.
12:31 so happy I found your 😊site. Unfortunately, I have two dropped stitches side-by😊-side and I've pretty much butchered my yarn trying to fix them. Your video teaching style is perfect for me, I know I'll succeed, and the worn out yarn will be like a badge of honor. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the video it has helped me so much in my machine knitting so I need to frog less x
Glad it helped!
My wife said thank you so much ..lol awsome explanation
Thank you!!
So helpful i am trying to make a chicken this is such a help ❤
these videos are life savers, I'm not kidding, thank you, so glad i found your video. i also have to replace my peg. i broke one and i had 1 side i had to crochet the seam, from the bottom to the needles it took so long to fix. i hate when that happens
You are so welcome! (I have not had a needle break yet!!)
You have enormous patience. I just get so aggravated that I remove the entire thing I was working on...dumb I know,, but I get so upset. Thanks for this video.
Thank you! It doesn't take long to learn how to do this and it will save you so much time and frustration in the long run.
perfect. Thanks
You're welcome!
Thanks so much for this video! I just made my first hat on my Sentro and, of course, I had a dropped stitch. I thought I was going to have to start anew. 🥰
You are so welcome!
In my life, there's been heartache and pain. I don't know if I can face the knitting machine again (after dropping stiches). thank you so much for this video.
You can do it! Learning how to keep the right tension will solve most of the stitch problems.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!! You are an angel sent from above! I was having a breakdown with my dropped stitch because its my first ever project on a machine (and i chose a huge scarf as a first lol) so im so thankful for this video, i can continue with the knit project peacefully. You explained everything so well and slow for slow snails like myself, i could not be more grateful for this video. A thousand thank yous wont be enough. Youre the best
Thank you so much!
Dankjewel!! Goed gedaan! Ik ben een beginner, en ik begrijp het nu pas. Groeten van Elly, Nederland
Thank you! Glad you found my channel!
Great video, knitting even on the sentro is a little like black magic to me and when it goes wrong it’s a real problem I just don’t understand the engineering…I’m more of a home sewist and rigid fabric seems a lot safer than yarn but I so want to conquer knitting (I’m a really slow hand knitter) so the sentro is something I want to work on, there’s so much lovely yarn out there!
Thanks! It gets easier over time. Tension is key and once you master that there's no stopping you! Also, pick yarns that are easy on the machine (light worsted works the best).
Omg thank you!
Thank you!
❤ Thank you.😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you as this was helpful. I’ve found that if you crochet from the bottom up it’s a little easier to correct a dropped stitch.
Thank you!
Thank you!!! :)
You're welcome!
I'm ONLY 14 seconds in and know I'm going to sub and save this video 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you
You are very welcome!
I’m brand new at this and you have explained this so
Clearly for me. May I ask what size crochet hook you recommend
Thanks for this video this going to help me a lot im a begginer with the machine
You're welcome! Have fun with your new hobby!
@@CalumetKnits thank yiu
@@CalumetKnits Thank you
Thank you for a great tutorial. I am new with this machine and have ripped out a few hats because of dropped stitches…. Know I know!
You are so welcome!
Very helpful! I use a latch hook instead of a crochet hook. I find it easier. BUT I have an Addi so I know it's harder with the caridge in the way. I also find that my yarn is tighter... It doesn't stretch as much as yours.
I run into some tight stitches as well. If you can't get it back on the needle, place a locking stitch marker on it and wait for it come around a second time. It should be easier.
Omgosh Thank you
You're welcome!
Best Video I have seen about these fixes. It took me months to find a good video. I think I would of founder your video if you change the title to something like "Dropped and Tucked Stitche Fixes on Your Circular Knitting Machines". TH-cams search will find your video easier. JAT PS: Do you have a video on how to fix after you take your project off the machine?
Thank you. Yes, I do... th-cam.com/video/VLMfu9iEelg/w-d-xo.html
I've found that a latch rug hook works amazing, cause the loop can't slip off 😊
Yes, use what works for you!
Hi, I found this video very interesting and helpful. I am struggling with the red heart retro stripes on my scentro. I'm constantly dropping stitches. It's frustrating 😤
Yes, that yarn is a trouble-maker for sure.
Great Tutorial. Can you fix the stitches when you noticed them on the machine. Correcting after a few rows is well and good, but can you show how to fix when you notice them on the machine. That would be great.
In the video I show you how the incorrect stitches are made. You just need to watch for these as you knit. Tension is key! Fix your tension and you won't need to watch every stitch.
What a game changer this was, I attempted my first beanie with a rib, I had only used my machine three other times, to make three straight forward brimmed hats with different wool, I am a ‘56 year old ‘newbie’, who can knit, very basically, can not crochet and needs processes explained clearly and concisely. In attempting the rib, I had no problem picking up the stitches it was reattaching them to the hook and then knitting them, the only video I had watched showed you to the right of the wool feed, so you ‘hand’ knitted the picked up stitch once you rehooked, it just kept creating tucked or dropped stitches again, in the end I just marked the dropped stitches and picked them up after I had cast off! The tucked stitch, however became 3 tucked stitches, that was much harder! Do you have a video that shows more than one tucked stitch in a row, I winged it but I would love to see a video showing me how to do it, properly or easily!!! Do you have one? Thank you.
I always fix stitches on the left side of the yarn guide. So, whatever column comes first, that is what I fix even. If I have three columns in the row, I always start with the most right column first. If your stitches are out of order, you have to follow the order of the column to the right. If that one is messed up, you keep moving to the right until you find the correct order, then you work on fixing the columns in next column to the left and so on.
@@CalumetKnits Thank you so much for replying, I have screen shot it, so I can reference it, I do write down pointers, then, often, can’t follow my own instructions, so this will be perfect. Have a enjoyable Sunday.
Hi! Thanks for the video!
How do you fix a tucked stitch when it’s a border stitch (on panel mode)?
Thanks for your help
Good question! I will work on a video for that because it is not as easy.
This was just what I needed, thank you! Was there a resource you used when you were first learning, or did you learn by trial and error?
Of course, I watched a lot of other basic machine knitting videos. But, mostly learning on my own and applying my hand knitting experience.
Thank you. Now I know how to fix tucked stitches and even it out after I remove it from the machine. What exactly causes the tucked stitch- is it too thick of a yarn or tension, or is it some other reason? Appreciate your explanation on how to fix these.
Tension is a huge part! Even the slightest adjustment will make big changes in how the stitch falls down the needle. Too tight and it can't move, too loose and it floats around the needle. I suggest experimenting using your hand and adjusting the tension. Yarn makes a big difference as well. You need a yarn that can stretch a bit (trial and error to find ones that work).
Thank you SO much for this video! Dropped stitches usually meant I had to take the project off the loom and start over. Another question, though: what is happening when a tube (for a hat, for instance) is finished, and when you bind off, there are parts that look like a crease in the yarn? I don't know how to post a photo for you to see... but maybe you know what I mean.
You are so welcome! I think the crease-like is due to tension. You want to make sure that your tension is consistent throughout. If you look at the row of stitches you may noticed that they are much smaller than the rest. This means your tension was tighter for this section than the rest of the tube. The can also be bigger (elongated) which is also a tension issue. I hope this helps.
Thanks for this great explanation. Is there a way to avoid tucked stitches happening i.e. What is the cause?
Tension! Tension is the key to knitting perfectly. Sometimes you need a little more or a little less than the 3 settings. Adding a weight to a problem area can also help pull those stitches down so they don't get tucked.
Idk if it's just that my tension gauge is crap, or if the sentro is just junk; but. I tried doing this and had to frog 60+ stitches because there were just too many issues to fix :( back to using a ton of waste yarn and trying to tension by hand, hopefully that fixes the issue. Thank you for the tutorial, just wanted to let others know it's probably not worth the heartache if you have a ton of problems in your project that you didn't notice 🥲
Update: didn't fix the issue, the sentro is probably just garbage haha
It might be your yarn and not the machine. Sometimes the machines just don't like the yarn. And, you have to experiment with different tension (beyond the tensioner).
Would the size hook changes that problem when you used h or I hook? I wonder if you use thin hook to fox that problem at the end? Just wondering. I was not sure if I should order knitting machine after I saw your video. Maybe I should try that.
I usually grab whatever size hook I have layering around. You can definitely use a smaller hook or even a latch hook. I typically don't need to even out the stitches if I catch the problem with a few rows. Its usually when you have to undo 5+ rows where you start to see the uneven stitches.
Maybe you can help me. I've finished my beanie and am ready to cast off. Unfortunately, I seem to have 2 dropped stitches right near where I would start. I don't see the stitch but there are a few ladder stitches right on top. I'm afraid to try to fix them on the machine. Could I just cast off all of the stitches and try to fix it when it's off? Sorry for the long post😌Wanted to send a pic but there no place to do it in comments.
I'm dealing with 2 problems... I just changed colors and I wound up having dropped stitches right before I get back to the starting needle. Can I pick up. Also, I'm not sure how many stitches need fixing. Hard to explain without a picture. Then there's a single yarn strand right after that didn't catch I guess. Is there any way of fixing that? I've gotten this far and I'd like to not have to rip it out. I need to learn to fix these kinds of things. I could send you a pic if that would help.
