Troubleshooting

Stitches are uneven or inconsistent.

Check your tension. Use a gauge swatch to adjust needle size and ensure you're maintaining a consistent stitch.

The fabric is too tight or too loose.

Adjust your needle size. A larger needle will create a looser fabric, while a smaller needle will create a tighter one.

Yarn is splitting while knitting.

Ensure your needles have smooth tips and that you're not splitting the plies. Try to be more gentle with the yarn.

The colors are not matching.

Confirm that all of your yarn skeins are from the same dye lot. If not, alternate rows or change colors to blend the variation.
