Hi Vayda,

That is a great knitting tip for standard type yarn – and completely makes sense as it would keep you from making the beginning stitches too tight.

However, in this case the yarn is the “off the hook” variety meaning no knitting needles needed. So the tension would depend on how tight you pull the stitches with your fingers.

I think that the same concept applies, though. You just need to be conscious as to how tight you make the first row and the turning stitches.

this is a late comment but if you cast on with a single size larger needle than your pattern’s recommended needle, then switch to the recommended needle you can prevent curling at the bottom at least. It can also help those who knit with tight knitting tension maintain a loose but not too loose tension throughout your project, whatever it may be.

Hi Jane,
My best guess would be to make your stitches a little looser along the edges – perhaps you are pulling the yarn too tight and thus the tension is causing the edges to curl?

Hi Rosie,
To attach another skein I would just work it in as you would if you were knitting traditionally – I would try to do it at the end or beginning of a row. Then I imagine the best way to combine the two would be to cut the loops off of the tail and weave the main line into the piece either by hand or with a really large yarn needle. I hope that helps – again, I have not done a project where I have had to attach a second skein so I’m not 100% sure.
