Troubleshooting

Tension is too loose

Switch to a smaller needle size, such as 3.75mm, and re-knit your tension swatch.

Yarn splitting during knitting

Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension to ensure you aren't pulling the yarn too tightly.

Garment feels stiff

Check your tension; you may be knitting too tightly. Try moving up to a 4.25mm or 4.5mm needle.
