You can also do Seed stitch on an odd number of sts and k1,p1 across, ending with a k1 one. On all rows.

I'm sure you will already have an answer by now, but I don't see it yet... seed stitch is k1,p1,k1,p1... then reverse it on the way back so that the k1 is a p1 and the p1 is a k1... comes out bumpy. ;o)

Qintes - Welcome to the group! I've been gone a looong time but this is still a wonderful group. As to your problem, I've been told to slip the first stitch of every row to stop the rolling up. HTH, Chris

I assumed the knitting was back and forth (because if she knitted a stockinette tube on circulars there shouldn't be any "curling of edges", right?) So when you turn "k1, p1" it LOOKS LIKE [p1, k1], and to keep it seed stitch, you k1, p1 again. Right? Or do I knit better on needles than in my head?

Whenever I do that, I find that the piece always folds in on itself right at the border.

I haven't seen my suggestion yet, but I had the same problem with my first scarf. I found that by adding a crocheted border around the piece, either 1 round slip stitches and 1 round single crochets or just
1 round of single crochet helped immensely. I prefer the appearance of two rows of single crochet at the ends with one row along the sides because the piece looks more balanced. Sarah in Northern Indiana- Vote on answer

It sounds like it'll be pretty! Can I do an entire scarf in that pattern? Would it look nice? Pam

Makes sense. I'm glad to know I don't need to buy double yarn when I want to do something in ribbing. Thanks Sue!

It's knitting hazing!
I haven't heard of Tricot. I think the book I learned from was just very basic. I'm going to find some more in depth materials for study.
What a great idea! I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years. Sounds hard to do but I'm going to try it. Thanks, Mirjam!
