Above, is the tear that I created in the square...
With a tapestry needle, I threaded a "lifeline" in the row above the broken stitch.
With my fingers, I carefully pulled apart the broken stitch and the whole dc-3 cluster, leaving about 4" tail. I unraveled the stitches to where you would normally join new yarn. On the other side I also left a tail. Basically I cut out the smallest amount that I could while allowing an end on each side of the gap for weaving in later.
With a tapestry needle, I threaded the new yarn through all the spaces that the new stitches will have to go. It's the same spaces as the lifeline. I used a cut length of yarn, not a working yarn that is attached to a ball. About a yard.

Sorry for the fuzzy photo here. I chained 1 st, just like you would for the granny pattern.

Love the tutorial!! So helpful! Can't wait for the finish tomorrow. Here's a question for some time when you are looking for a post (haha): How can you tell which side is the right side and which is the wrong side? I am vigilant about marking the right side because I just don't know how to tell by sight. Have a great day!!
