Slip Stitches to Neaten Knitted Edges and Reduce Curling - Slip Purlwise
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Some flat knitting patterns have edges that are not smooth and tend to curl. To reduce these knitting problems, you can slip the first stitch of every row. In this video, I will show you how I slip a knit stitch and a purl stitch to neaten the edges of a rice stitch pattern.
The swatch in the video is a miniature version of my free Rice Stitch Blanket pattern, which can be found at: purlsandpixels.com/rice-stitc...

I'm intrigued by how you knit like this - with the wool wrapped round your left fingers. Just tried it, but got in a tangle 🤣

I work in what is called "continental style" holding the working yarn in my left hand. It can be a little tricky to get started, for sure! But I love this method, because there isn't quite as much arm motion. A bit easier on my wrists. ;)
Interesing... Thanks for the tip

I just found this video, so on the wrong side, u slip , then k 1 , and P the whole row? K1 right after the slip stitch?
would this help the stockinette curl?

Great question! It does help a little with the stockinette curl, but it doesn't prevent it completely. Stockinette likes to curl in the middle as well as at the edges, so that pattern is a little more difficult to flatten. I often make stockinette into tubes (knitted in the round) and sew the ends together if I want to make something like a scarf or blanket with the stockinette pattern.
