Fix seed stitch mistake?

[Hopesmom]

Hi -

This is my first post here... I hope you can help me and in turn, I hope I can contribute to others in the future...

I am not a super great knitter but keep trying! In the past year I finally learned how to undo a knit row with mistakes by inserting a needle a few rows below - I don't know how to do it otherwise!

Now I have a seed stitch error - the pattern - 3K, P, K to end, 3 k. Some how my last two rows are wrong - how to I fix this other than to unravel the whole thing? I could not figure out how to insert a needle a few rows below.

THANK you in advance!

When I find a whole row that's wrong, I usually take the knitted piece off the needles and rip back to the error row and then insert a needle into each st as I pull out the yarn until I've undone the row and have all the sts back on the needle. Since you've only got 2 rows in error, you could undo st by st putting each st onto a needle for the two rows (or if you feel brave, take the piece off the needle, rip out one row and rip out the 2nd row st by st while adding each st onto a needle). If any sts get twisted, just correct them as you knit the new row.
Actually, it's pretty good to recognize that you've gone astray after only 2 rows. Good checking!

Thank you salmonmac!!! I think I am going to try your second recommendation. I cannot believe that you replied so quickly; maybe I will become a knitter after all (I still use very low-cost acrylic yarn as I have yet to trust myself)!:cheering:
