too late to fix dropped stitch
help!

I finished the sleeves on my sweater and as I was looking over the finished work noticed i dropped a stitch. It had only rippled down two or three rows so I can fix that part with the crochet hook, but what do I do after that to sew it down or something so it won't unravel again?

Thanks,
leah

You can use your crochet hook to work the dropped stitch up as many rows as you can without pulling it too tightly. Then on the wrong side, pull a piece of matching yarn through the stitch and work the ends in to secure it. I recently did this on a pair of socks
