Error: Dropped Stitch

If you accidentally drop a stitch, fix it by carefully unraveling your work until you reach the dropped stitch. Use a crochet hook to pick up the dropped stitch and then continue crocheting normally.

Error: Uneven Tension

Achieving even tension is crucial for producing a consistent and polished finish. If your tension is uneven, try adjusting how you hold the yarn or experiment with different hook sizes to find your optimal tension.
