I'm going to make my first wearable- a cardigan. Please help me understand how blocking works and if I need to block all wearables
Hello! I'm planning on making my first wearable and this is the tutorial I'm going to be following. I watched the whole video and the cardigan looks very pretty and doable for me.
One thing I wanted to know was whether I need to block the cardigan. Her drape looks fine but I don't know if it's like that after blocking.
I'll be using mousse acrylic yarn- this is definitely softer than basic acrylic yarn but is not as soft as cotton yarns. Sizing up the hook size will give me a nice drape( she did the same in the video) but will that be enough to eliminate the need for blocking?
Blocking expands the project right? If that is so, should I also reduce my stitches in the project.... Or does this project not need blocking at all...?
