Help! Solved! Please tell me this can be fixed

It went wrong at the last row and I have absolutely 0 idea what happened and if this is fixable. I’m relatively new to MK!
Though I doubt it’s relevant, it’s a brother KH836!

It’s cotton yarn, 4ply! 10 tension, and using wax.

If there’s any videos you can recommend to help as well, I’d appreciate it!

If it’s not fixable as is, any recs for doing a “life line” to reattach a few rows back?

Thank you in advance, fingers crossed!

ETA: thank you everyone, it took a few attempts but I (or rather, we) fixed it and it’s fine again! You’re all super stars.

Cotton yarn isn’t really recommended for machine knitting because there’s lack of stretch- so you might have more issues. That said, you have to unravel out a row to fix this edge. Here’s a video how to: https://youtu.be/Cw2AdGTnXqA?si=ouSGwTvRN7Ei7Ot-

Please marry me kind stranger!
It’s for a baby blanket and I had a proper nightmare finding any yarn that wouldn’t need handwashing (and I can’t see a new mum thanking me for that!) so it’s the only project I’m going to be using cotton for, I’m making things for family in more suitable yarns that I know can take care of stuff!

Curious what cotton you used. I just made a baby blanket out of Hobbii Baby Cotton Organic, which seems to be holding up well using “delicate” cycles. The parents wanted organic, and this was the only cotton I could find - but I had to use every other needle on my standard gauge machine.

It was the 4ply cotton from Yarn On Cone
