Question: what does frog mean in knitting?
Answer: Tink is knit spelled backwards, and it refers to undoing one stitch at a time. ... My knitting colleagues know that I prefer to frog, meaning I take the knitting off the needles and pull the yarn, undoing rows of stitches at a time. Frogging gets its name from "Rip it, rip it," which sounds like a frog's croak.
