Q: Why is my rectangle skewed?

A: A non-square fabric can stem from a number of sources:

Not using turning chains properly. Be sure that all turning chains are the right height for the stitch you are using. If appropriate, treat the turning chains as stitches and work into them. If they are not treated as a stitch, do not work into them at the end of a row. See also: Pages 105–11 for turning chains.

A stitch pattern that biases the fabric. See if you can work the stitch pattern more loosely to alleviate the bias.

A yarn that biases the fabric. A poorly spun, unbalanced yarn may cause problems. Try a different yarn to see if the swatch is still skewed. If your pattern allows, and it is the stitch pattern or yarn that is causing the bias, you might try working back and forth in the round to see if the opposite pull of the stitches straightens the fabric.
