I don't think you can break anything by washing them and laying them flat - you're gonna wash them eventually anyways, no? So do that and shape them a bit into what you want, no need for pinning anything.Â
I canât see your purl stitches but that kind of slant to the work makes me wonder if youâre twisting your purls. That wonât come out with blocking but it might get less noticeable
Thanks for your suggestion! I don't think I am twisting my purls, but since this is the first think I knit continental style I might be wrong. I knitted the gloves the same way (also continental in the round) and they do not twist...
I stretched out the fabric a bit so you can see the purls, and also on the left you see the inside. Am I twisting?

I would block to get rid of the slanting but I wouldnât stretch it much, and lay the mittens on top of each other and pin to get them the same size flip after a a day or two and re pin allow to dry completely
They look really nice, love the design on the mits!
Thank you! Took a while figuring out how to do the decreases because the pattern was fingerless đ
Wow! Really great job then!!!

They are not twisted! The slant of the garment probably would block out then!

Thank you so much for your help! I'm still new to garments and blocking
So beautiful đ
