You can work duplicate stitch either horizontally, like I did with the Flurries Cowl, or vertically. Repeat for as many stitches as you need to fix (Photo 6). If you’re fixing multiple stitches, bring the needle back out at the base of the V of the next stitch to the left to begin the next duplicate stitch. Step 3: Take the needle back into the fabric at the same place it entered, completing the stitch (Photos 4 and 5). Step 2: Trace the stitch by taking the tapestry needle behind both legs of the stitch above (Photo 3). From the back of the fabric, bring the needle up into the bottom of the stitch to be fixed (Photo 2). Step 1: Thread the correct color yarn onto the tapestry needle.

I’ll show you how to use duplicate stitch to fix this square (Photo 1). Here are the actual errors in my Flurries Cowl as you can see, I made several. However, instead of using knitting needles, you’ll use a tapestry needle threaded with the correct color to trace over the stitches of the wrong color to correct them. The technique is called duplicate stitch because you will be duplicating stitches that you have already knitted. This technique is especially helpful for small bits of color that are not worked all over, such as words, faces on dolls, and little-used third colors in Fair Isle patterns. You can also use duplicate stitch to add colorwork after knitting when you do not want to use stranding while you’re knitting. Let me show you how you, too, can use this magic technique to fix errors in your stranded colorwork. I wanted to fix them before I sent in the sample, of course, but I did not have time to rip back to the beginning.
While I was finishing up knitting the Flurries Cowl for knitscene, I noticed that I had made some mistakes in the stranded colorwork way back at the beginning.
