Troubleshooting

Incorrect gauge.

Knit a gauge swatch and adjust needle size until your gauge matches the pattern. If your gauge is too tight, use larger needles; if too loose, use smaller needles.

Lace pattern errors.

Carefully review the pattern instructions. Use stitch markers and count stitches to help maintain the correct pattern. If you make a mistake, unravel back to the error and correct it.

Sizing issues.

Double-check your gauge and follow the sizing chart carefully. Consider making a smaller size if you are between sizes or prefer a closer fit. Adjust needle sizes for a looser or tighter fit to achieve the correct size.
