Handy to know
Made a mistake? No problem! Check out our
video guide on how to unravel your knitting (also known as frogging). Frogging is a safe way to undo your work by a number of rows if you spot a mistake or are just not happy with your knitting and want to restart, without having to go right back to the beginning.
