I am a beginner and am making dish cloths. I am using all cotton yarn and I am having the worst time with it being so tight (my stitches). I don’t have this problem when I knit with acrylic yarn. Is it the yarn or do I just need to make my stitches even looser?
Cotton doesn’t have the stretch of acrylic. If you’re using plastic or wood needles, maybe metal needles will help the cotton to slide easier.
Probably the yarn, but you could go up a size or two on the needles and see if that helps. Since it’s a dishcloth, gauge doesn’t matter so much.
