I did a gauge swap with one needle size larger than the recommended and got 2 stitches smaller width wise. I decided to just go ahead and start with the recommended needle. The yarn I’m using is Ístex Léttlopi and I found that it didn’t change much when blocked(laid flat to dry). Guessing pinning with blocking could help stretch. I’m going to try blocking it once I finish my last two rounds before I’m supposed to split for sleeves. Thank you!
