I crocheted my first sweater using a pattern from Stitch n' b***h: The Happy Hooker. I used acrylic yarn, which naturally doesn't shrink, and the first couple of times I wore it, it fit just fine. However, the sleeves and the neckline have been gradually stretching lower... and lower...
[will provide picture]
I did do a swatch before I started making it, but perhaps I didn't keep the same tension on the hook when I did the sweater?
I don't have any of the original yarn left, so unless I took out the edging and used that, I don't think I could do any additions.
Help? Is there a way to somehow at least curb the stretching, if not reduce the length of the sleeves/ neckline?
