How to stop edges from curling?
Hello! I am working on a scarf for my son for christmas. I'm a new knitter and I have finished a few other basic projects (scarf, scarf, and scarf). This is the first time I've done any kind of pattern - I've just been knitting stockinette.

I'm using alpaca on #11 needles. The pattern is 15 stitches across, K/P rows 1 -6, K 7-10, then repeat. It kinda makes a stripe.

It's looking swell but the edges are curling. I saw another post about stopping the ends from curling but my ends are okay, it's the edges. Before I go any further I was hoping to get some advice.

Thanks! Happy Holidays!
