I’m not familiar with loom knitting or that stitch but from what I can see this doesn’t appear to be like the stockinette stitch which is the stitch that is most likely to curl so you may be ok with this not curling. But I don’t know for sure on this.

so i'm blind and i only know how to do the E rap stitch on a round loom how do i keep it from curling do I need a thicker yarn??

I’m afraid I don’t know much about loom knitting. But if you are producing a stockinette type stitch on the loom there will be curling and a thicker yarn will not help that. I would suggest doing some searching on KZfaq that addresses issues and tips for loom knitting. Sorry I couldn’t be of more help.

Hi, when knitting a V neck cardigan in stocking stitch and start to decrease both left and right sides start to curl inwards.. is this normal? what can i do to prevent this from happening? I am new to knitting Thank you for any advise you can offer me..

@jacqknits 2 ай бұрын

Yes, that is normal. Anytime you knit stockinette without a couple border stitches you will have some curling. I'm surprised your pattern doesn't call for some border stitches to prevent that. Or it could be that the curling is part of the design and that curled edged is on purpose. If you don't like that, then I would suggest altering the pattern a bit to replace the last couple stitches of your rows with garter stitch (so knit stitches on both right and wrong side of fabric). If you are doing your increase and decrease stitches at the end of the rows, be sure to keep working those stitches as you do your garter stitch. That will give it a little border and help with the curling a bit.

@@jacqknits i have a couple more questions... when knitting two stitches in garter stitch to prevent curling do i add an extra two stitches to my cast on row at start of work? also when i pick up stitches to shape rib edge , do i pick up at the stocking stitch edge or where the garter stitch is...

@jacqknits 2 ай бұрын

If the pattern calls for you to later pick up stiches on your stockinette stitch edge for a ribbing on a cardigan that in itself will prevent the curling. You would not need to do a garter stitch edging.
