I've been wondering why the Knight hasn't grown at all, since the young Hollow Knight is shown in the Birthplace cutscene, at the same developmental stage as the Knight. And we can see that the Hollow Knight is now fully grown, and the Broken vessel had grown before it was killed. My theory is that Vessels can't grow in the Abyss. Maybe the Abyss lacks whatever alows vessels to grow, or that thing was blocked off when the Pale King sealed the Abyss. I also think that maybe vessels can't grow outside of Hollownest. Since the Knight was exploring outside of Hollownest after it escaped the Abyss. Maybe the thing that lets vessels grow only exists in Hollownest, which is why the Knight hasn't grown at all since escaping the Abyss and leaving Hollownest.
