Troubleshooting

Finished item is the wrong size.

Check your tension against the pattern's requirements and re-knit if necessary. Ensure you are using the correct needle size and following the pattern closely.

Review the pattern instructions carefully. If the issue persists, consult online knitting resources or seek help from experienced knitters.
