Add this to the list of videos that I hope you never need – how to correct a dropped cast-on stitch. But the video is here for you if you ever find yourself in this situation!
You can see all of my slow-motion videos here.

Whether you have a dropped garter stitch column because it accidentally dropped, or you dropped it intentionally to fix a mistake, here I demonstrate how to get that stitch back on the needle.

In this video I demonstrate a normal bind-off, using a crochet hook instead of a knitting needle. The result of this technique is the same as the common BO called for in most patterns.
