Patty Lyons' Knitting ER: The Ultimate Guide to Fixing Knitting Mistakes

Patty Lyons' Knitting ER is the book to reach for when your knitting goes wrong — whether you’ve dropped a stitch, made a mistake several rows back, or spotted a problem only after binding off.

Written by expert knitting teacher and bestselling author Patty Lyons, this practical guide is packed with step-by-step solutions for fixing knitting mistakes at every stage of a project. It covers everything from everyday repairs to more advanced techniques, including fixes for brioche and half fisherman’s rib, as well as clever ways to alter finished garments.

You’ll learn how to correct structural mistakes, add a missing cable, adjust sleeve lengths and rescue projects you might otherwise have considered frogging. Clear technical illustrations make the techniques easy to follow, while QR codes link to video tutorials for extra guidance.

With its playful emergency-room theme and illustrations by Franklin Habit, Knitting ER manages to make even complicated fixes feel approachable.

A brilliant reference book to keep close at hand, whether you’re a confident knitter wanting to tackle more advanced repairs or simply want to feel more confident when things don’t quite go to plan.
