Knitting a holey cardi. The yarn is randomly thick and thin, knitted on 6mm needles, so the work turns out with random thick, fluffy patches and random thin, lacy patches. It starts with a garter stitch band, and is then stocking stitch to a 1x1 rib waistband, then stocking stitch the rest of the way.
It's a very loose, uneven sort of stitch, not in any way precise-looking. I'm a slow knitter, and I've been working on it for over a month, so far.
I have finished the back and both fronts up to the armhole shaping. About to start armhole shapings, and I have just realised that I forgot to reduce after the garter stitch band at the bottom of one front. One of the fronts has still got 44st instead of 32!
Am I going to have redo the whole piece? Is there any way I can...I don't know.. do something? Turn the extra 12 stitches into part of the button band?

Noooooo! Made a mistake 5 rows in, and only just realised! Is there no choice but to undo EVERYTHING and start from scratch?
