What are some common mistakes that can cause a kfb stitch to be dropped?
Assuming you are referring to the knit front and back (kfb) stitch, a common mistake that can cause this stitch to be dropped is when the knitter forgets to yarn over (yo) before inserting their needle into the next stitch. Without the yarn over, the stitch is essentially a knit stitch and will not increase the number of stitches on the needle.

Why do I keep dropping stitches?
There are a few things that could be causing you to drop stitches: knitting incorrectly, not using enough yarn, tensioning the yarn too tightly, or having the needles too large. Knitting incorrectly can include dropping stitches while__ working in the round, working with two strands of different color together, or knitting with the wrong needle size. Not using enough yarn is common when you’re trying to make a piece of fabric that’s thick or heavy and you’re not using enough of the specified yarn ball. Tensioning the yarn too tightly can cause skipped stitches as the fibers won’t have any give and they start pulling apart. Having the needles too large can also contribute to dropped stitches- if the needle isToo large it can jab into the fiber at an unexpected place, throwing off your stitch placement.
Why do I end up with more stitches?
There are many reasons why extra stitches might become embedded in your knitting. The most common cause is when you inadvertently knit into the working yarn before the current stitch has been completed. This creates a “yarn over,” and since there's an extra loop on the needle, more stitches can be knitted. Additionally, picking up a dropped stitch can also create extra stitches - in this case, because the thread that was originally holding the dropped stitch has now been twisted around and pulled through two or more additional stitches.
Why are my end stitches loose?
It can be difficult to pull the yarn tightly enough all the way through a stitch if the stitch itself is close to the end of the row. If your work has many end stitches, try winding the yarn around your crochet hook before making each stitch. This will help you keep more tension on the yarn as you work.
