HELP- Crochet Disaster

Can anything be done to fix a crooked baby blanket? I had just finished the baby blanket that I was making (except for the fringe) and I went to fold the blanket and I realize that it is very crooked.

crooked as in your guage changed from the beginning to the end?

depending on what fiber the blanket is made of, you can block it.

to block it you need to wash or wet it then lay it flat and pin it to the size you want. blocking is a way of "guiding" your piece to be more like what you want it to be.

if that wasn't very clear, google blocking knit/crochet.
