What is the best way to keep the edges of your knitting strait?
I’m working on a scarf with all knit stitches. Are there any ways to keep the edges of the scarf even? I’m not dropping or gaining any stitches, it’s just not as strait as I’d like it. Also, do you know if you can block on acrylic yarn projects? I’m not concerned about the scarf loosing it’s shape. Any certain techniques for that?
Thanks!
The surest way to avoid curling on a scarf is to work garter stitch rows by knitting the first 6 and the last 6 rows. If you knit the first 3 stitches and the last 3 stitches of every row, you will avoid the dreaded roll.
