Non-knitters and maybe some knitters don’t realize the difference soaking and blocking makes with a knitted item. Soaking relaxes the fibers and then, without stretching the piece, we gently pat it out to the shape it is meant to have, usually pin it into that shape and let it dry.
This is what my Undulance socks looked like before blocking.

They are nice, either way. LOL I do get the flattening thing, though.
