How to undo stitches in the round

Everyone makes mistakes and luckily, crochet is very forgiving. Maybe you've forgotten where you're at in a pattern, or the number of stitches in the round doesn't match the pattern, or you simply think your crochet piece could look better. Whatever the reason, it's very easy to undo crochet stitches, and if you use a stitch marker to mark your rounds, it's also easy to troubleshoot as well. The tutorial below shows you how to safely undo your stitches so that you always know where you are.
