Zen Knitting

I’ve read that the stockinette stitch always leads to curling edges, but I’m not doing that– I’m just purling, and the edges of the scarf I’m making curl quite a bit. I tried adding a border of two knit stitches at each end of each row, and at first, this seemed to work, but once I completed about eight inches, the edges started curling a lot again . Is there anything I can do to avoid this (other than wet blocking)?

hi, does anyone personally know the directions or directions on a website on stitching so that the ends won’t curl inwards? that happened to the last scarf that i made and i tried ironing it to flatten it out…and it didn’t work. how do you make a completely flat scarf with very simple instructions? (while using both knit and purl stitches)

i’m knitting a scarf with a knit one row, purl one row pattern, and it keeps curling on the sides. how can i keep it from curling in on the sides because right now it just looks like a really long knitted cylinder, and it’s not attractive.

I’ve knitted a scarf entirely in the stockinette (or stocking) stitch, ie. knit one row, purl one row. As everyone knows, the stockinette stitch rolls like a scroll, and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to the edges to make it stop rolling? Knit something? Crochet something? Anything! Please help?
Thanks!

When I knit one side and purl the other on a piece of work I’m doing, if I keep knitting, then purling, I end up with the edges curling towards the center on me, and it makes it harder to work with. Is there something I am doing wrong? I have had it suggested that I knit the first two stitches and last two stitches of every row, that didn’t work, suggested to not knit the first stitch, that too didn’t work. Any suggestions on what I could do to fix this would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!
I can do just about any pattern, cabling, braiding, purling, you name it, just this pattern is a very simple on, and I love the clean lines on it, and so would like to keep the plain look.
