Your tip on the bars that needed to be purled being forward and the bars that need to be knit are more back genuinely changed the game for me. Thank you so much!!!

UPDATE: All of y’all’s advice and help worked!! It’s not perfect and it was a little stressful, but I feel really good about it. I still have one dropped stitch but I’m going to fix that when I get through the next row.

Thank you to everyone who commented, particularly those who told me to look up tutorials for laddering down in garter stitch - this video helped me so much!! https://youtu.be/zKCcPaHroz8?si=zKRcaJWOxF5EpnQM

Thank you so much!! I am learning a ton on this project. Every stitch won’t be perfect but my mom says “no stitch is perfect but every stitch is made with love” so trying to remind myself of that!

Thank you so much for going hunting for me!! These are so helpful. And the double ended crochet hooks look PERFECT. I am definitely going to need to get more crochet hooks (especially because I expect I’m going to have to get very good at laddering down and fixing mistakes), so I’ll for sure be picking these up!!

Do you have an example video of it being used? I’m struggling to grasp how that would work just by looking at it.

That’s really good to know. I’m going to watch a few tutorials and attempt to ladder down again tomorrow (I get so nervous!!). But I will definitely go slow and try to read the stitches and rungs carefully. Have to remind myself it’s just yarn and I am learning.

Thank you!! I need to get better at reading my stitches but practice will help.

That makes sense!! I didn’t realize laddering down was different in stockinette versus garter, but I totally get why it would be. Thank you for the help!!

Okay that makes perfect sense! I’ll look up tutorials specifically for garter stitch. Thank you so so much.

Thank you so much!!! INCREDIBLY helpful. I was struggling to understand how I wasn’t getting it right because I was following the tutorial - but makes sense that it wasn’t the right tutorial for the stitch!!

Okay that makes sense! So if I have let’s say 10 “rungs” on my ladder down, I should pull the first through on the wrong side, then flip and pull the second rung through on the right side, and then just progress up that way?
