How to Block a Newly Knit Sweater
- 1). Cover a large, flat surface, such as a couch, bed or carpeted floor with a plastic tarp or plastic shower curtain. Lay a towel on top of the plastic.
- 2). Place the sweater flat on top of the towel.
- 3). Stretch the sweater to the proper dimensions, pinning it down along the edges as you stretch. Measure the sweater before you pin to make sure the dimensions are accurate.
- 4). Spray the sweater with a spray bottle filled with water until the sweater is completely saturated.
- 5). Allow the sweater to dry completely, at least 24 hours. Carefully remove the pins.
