This technique allows for single rows of striping in flat knitting without having to turn the work at the end of the row. A circular or double pointed needle is all that is needed to try this simple method for color work.

Double Yarn Over (yo twice)
A Double Yarn Over creates two new stitches and results in a much larger hole than a single yarn over. This video demonstrates a Double Yarn Over between knit and purl stitches for both Western and Continental knitters.
Dropped Stitch (Fixing Mistakes)
Nothing strikes fear in the heart of a knitter more than a dropped stitch. Learn to pick up a dropped stitch and repair your work easily with the use of a crochet hook. This simple technique will save you time and turn you into a fearless knitter!
Dropped Stitch at End of Row
Repair an edge stitch that has unraveled several rows.
Duplicate Stitch
This great little technique can be used to add sections of color designs to stockinette. (It reminds me of cross stitching.) Many knitters use the Duplicate Stitch in lieu of small areas of Intarsia. These added stitches are placed on top of stockinette stitches after the piece is complete with the use of a tapestry needle. The Duplicate Stitch is also a great way to cover errors and wonky stitches you wish you had discovered prior to binding off. I especially love to use the Duplicate Stitch when weaving in ends on the right side of the work is needed.
Elongated Stitch
Elongated stitches are used to create interesting textures and gauges within a project. An elongated stitch is considerably larger than its neighboring stitches making it an excellent choice for spots of open work or color manipulation. The elongated stitch is most commonly formed with a method that utilizes multiple wraps. Check out how easy it is to use!
Fixing a Mis-crossed Cable
Cables can be repaired even when the mistake occurred several rows below.
