pick up stitches
Reclaim dropped yarn
To pick up stitches is a knitting technique where you create new stitches along an existing edge—typically to add a collar, sleeve, or border to a completed piece.
The needle draws loops through the fabric edge, which become live stitches for continued knitting: Pick up stitches along the neckline and work the ribbing.
