Troubleshooting
Stitch count is incorrect after a row.
Carefully recount your stitches. Ensure you are following the pattern's instructions for increases and decreases accurately. Refer to the pattern's stitch guide if available.
Gauge swatch does not match the required tension.
Adjust your needle size. If your swatch is too small, use a larger needle size. If your swatch is too large, use a smaller needle size. Knit a new swatch with the adjusted needles and re-measure.
Yarn is running out before completing the project.
Check your gauge and tension. If your tension is looser than recommended, you may be using more yarn than anticipated. Purchase additional yarn of the same dye lot if possible.
Finished item has an uneven shape.
Ensure consistent tension throughout your knitting. Blocking the finished item according to yarn care instructions can help even out the shape.
