Whoops! A bunch of stitches just slipped off the end of the needle. You got them back on the needle, but are they twisted now? Here’s how to tell, and a couple of ways of correcting the twisted stitches.
Information on things you’ll see in this video:

Hi Staci. What happens if we knit/purl the stiches mounted incorrectly? I may have done this a few times in my knitting without realizing it, and I don’t remember noticing anything different. Maybe that’s because I was looking through my inexperienced eyes.
Thanks for the video, it is very helpful. Now I will be able to spot the difference on my stitches.
Hi Manisha – if you don’t correct? the stitch, that stitch will look different from the others, and stand out (especially in stockinette). It will just look twisted – either “popping” out of the work more than the others, or having a more prominent left or right leg of the V.

Hi Staci
I’m knitting an infinity scarf on circular needles using knit stitches only. My stitches all feel twisted. I’ve knitted 5 rows and don’t want to rip them out and start again. Is there a quick fix for this?
Mara – no, there is no quick fix. But you’ve only knit five rows…I think it’s good that you caught the problem so early in the scarf!

Hi Staci
Iām knitting an horizontal ribbed scarf on circular needles using 5 rounds knit stitches and 5 of purl stitches. After the first round of each 5 round set my stitches all feel twisted. Iā am a continental knitter. Is there a way to fix this?
Koe – you can knit a twisted stitch through the back loop to correct the twist. It is possible that you are wrapping your purl stitches backwards to cause that twist, this video might help you figure out how those stitches got twisted in the first place: https://verypink.com/2016/09/21/whats-knitting-style/
