So I’m knitting a fairly simple pattern (one row is knit 3, slip marker, yo, knit to middle marker, yo, slip marker, knit 1, yo, knit to last marker, yo, slip marker, knit last 3 stitches. Next row is knit 3, slip marker, purl to last marker, slip marker, knit last 3 stitches).
So I decided to add another color, which I’ve done several times before. I was finishing up the second row with the new color when I realized that my last 3 stitches on the end were now 2 stitches and I’ve no clue how that happened. I don’t remember dropping a stitch. Is it possible one of them unraveled due to how loose it is when you first add a new color?
Unfortunately, I sort of panicked and decided to just tink the two rows I did with the new color (idk why, but I don’t know how to fix a dropped stitch well after already knitting past it, so I figured maybe if I just tinked all of the new color it’d fix itself. Stupid I know). So now I still have that end with just 2 stitches. I don’t have a crochet hook and idk how to fix this after I’ve already stitched past it AND tinked past it. Now that end just looks a mess and really loses.
I’ve attached 4 pictures. The end with the purple marker is how it’s supposed to look (bear in mind the other one does have a bunch of tails bc that’s where I always end up changing the yarn)

If anyone can help with this that would amazing. I’ve done so much on this project already, I don’t think I could frog it all and just start over I’d simply never pick it back up.
If less messy or more zoomed in/specific pictures are needed of the weird end, let me know because I know it looks horrid and confusing.
