Adjust your needle or hook size. If stitches are too loose, try a smaller tool; if too tight, use a larger one. Practicing a swatch before starting your main project can help find the right tension.

It's always recommended to purchase slightly more yarn than estimated, especially for large projects. If you're short, check for additional skeins of the same dye lot to ensure color consistency. Consider adding a contrasting color block or stripe to finish your project creatively.
