Question:

Is there any way to add new stitches in the middle of a round?

Okay, i knitted the first round on my circular needles and after that you're supposed to knit the tail AND working yarn into the first 3 stitches but I mistakenly knit ONLY the tail into those stitches and tried to undo them but after i pulled off those 3 knitted stitches from the needle they were a mess so i can't put them back on the left needle to re-knit them againSo instead of starting my project over again, is there any way I could add those 3 stitches i up even though it would be adding new stitches in the middle.well beginning of my second round? If there is no way then i'm prepared to just start over:/

Answer:

i don't think it will be a cast matel since cast matels are known to be brittle they could easily break, they are missioned i guess.
Try this: Using a spare needle to hold the stitches, pick up the bottom strand, give it a 180 degree twist, and stick it on the spare needle, Repeat for two more stitchesNow, using your regular right needle and using the strand dangling in the back, knit those three stitchesUse the loop that is hanging along the back of the fabric, not the working yarnThe last stitch will be tightYou might cheat by moving that last stitch to the left needle tip, hooking the last bit of that strand onto the same tip, and then leapfrogging the stitch over the strand and on off the needleOr cheat by using a small crochet hook insteadSlide those three stitches off the right needle and onto your regular left needle Now continue knitting normallyIn future, if this should happen again, it would not have hurt to continue knitting with those three stitches knit on the tail, so long as you later wove the tail in as you would ordinarily do with a tail.
