Hello! Im in the process of making a cardigan or maybe a sweater. I havent totally made up my mind yet. But this is my first knit piece of clothing. I know blocking makes things longer/looser and i dont want jumbo sleeves lol. Do you have any tips/suggestions on how to prevent it?

I wish I could help, but I don’t really make clothing or knit

I think it honestly depends on what kind of yarn you’re using. Something made with merino wool will stretch a lot more than something made with cotton etc. Personally I just recommend pinning it to the size you want and letting it dry there after blocking with either steam or soaking it in water
