Oh my goodness! Okay, so I just started knitting about two weeks ago and completely knitted a scarf unknowingly using this stitch! Ha! No wonder it's curled at the ends. I've been watching your other videos and am going to try another scarf using the loose stitch (sorry, don't know the right term) this time. =). Thank you so much for these videos!

@SuperFoxyPanda

STOP! Any Stockinette stitch will curl in. The best stitches for scarves are ones that are the same on both sides like ribbing, seed stitch or garter. Garter is the easiest. It's knit every row.

Why do you always slip the first stitch?

@AmayaChosha

thanks a lot Judy. you're in my facebook. I just needed to know how it's done because I read on ravelry that it's good to do twisted ss stitch when doing transition from ss to garter (which leaves a hole) and this fixes the hole. did i understand it right? thanks!

@knittingtipsbyjudy I know >.<. I learned the hard way, but I did start my new project with the Garter stitch and it's much easier. Thanks again for posting these videos!

@ana3diaz

well then, you know how to do the twisted stockinette! try it the other way and see what happens. your knitting will probably be looser.
