Learn how to unravel your knitting using the Frog Back technique. Follow our guide to safely return to a previous row without dropping any stitches.
How to Frog Back Your Knitting
“Frog back” means unravelling your knitting back to an earlier row. This technique is useful when you have made a mistake and want to go back without losing your stitches.
- Decide which row you want to return to.
- Lay your work flat with the right side facing you.
- Locate the stitches on the row where you want to stop.
- Insert a needle through all the stitches on that row. Make sure you catch every stitch and that none of them are twisted.
- Carefully pull the other needle out of the stitches.
- Begin unravelling the rows above, one stitch at a time.
- Let the yarn run back through the stitches while they remain on the needle.
- Continue until you have unravelled back to the chosen row.
- Check that all the stitches are correctly placed on the needle before you continue knitting.
Work slowly and check the stitches regularly. If you are unsure, insert a spare needle or a piece of waste yarn into the stitches on the desired row before unravelling the rows above.
