How do I prevent my project from stretching out of shape?

Ensure proper gauge by doing a swatch first. Block your finished project gently to help it retain its shape.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting or crocheting.

Ensure you are using the correct needle or hook size for the yarn weight. Try to maintain consistent tension while working. If the issue persists, consider a different yarn.
