Block it. There are a number of ways, but I soak mine for a couple hours, then pin it to blocking boards. Well, actually, they're foam alphabet blocks, but the result is the same. Just make sure you use stainless steel pins so you don't damage your project with rust.
Seconding the suggestion to block! I've used the ironing board, large cardboard pieces with a towel on top, and even an old foam mattress to pin my work, depending on how big it is (but I don't have blocking boards). Natural fibers I soak, pin into shape, and let dry. Synthetic fibers I steam with my iron (being careful to not actually touch them).
