Hi, love this pattern! I am doing this without a color change and my first decrease round is working out misaligned. Having a hard time figuring out how to do it so it is centered. Can you advise, please?
If the decrease is not centered on the side, the suspect is that you started on a side with an odd number of spaces. Count the spaces on the side from corner to corner (include the corner spaces) If there is an even number of spaces, find the center 2 spaces and your decrease will be centered. If there is an odd number of spaces, the decrease will not be centered. If you follow the companion pattern it explains more about sizing.

@@TwistedYarns thank you. I have an even number of spaces, and I am turning my work, but the first decrease is not centered. I am not changing colors. Could that have something to do with it? I can’t figure out how to post a picture on here so I could show you.
Yes it probably does. If your turn is right in the center it may interfere with the decrease. You can work the decrease as close to the center as possible. The following round will even it out.
Another way to approach the centering issue. Is this: after you slip st to join on the last row before the decrease and not changing colors. Slip st over a few more sts so you are aligned with a space that is not close to the center. Then turn and you should be able to center the decrease. Let me know how it goes.

P.S. Also, if you mean "twisted" by the word misaligned, you are not turning the work after each row.
