What does drop mean in knitting?
White. Normally, dropping stitches is considered a bad thing in knitting. When you drop a stitch, you’ve made a mistake, and a hole or a run is the result.
How do you pick up a dropped stitch in several rows down?
In stockinette stitch: To rescue a dropped stitch from the knit side of stockinette stitch (if the purl side is facing, turn it around), reach through the dropped stitch with a crochet hook and pick up the bottommost strand in the ladder. Then, pull the strand through the stitch toward you to form a new stitch.
