Curled edges
Hello All-

I don't remember what to do about curled edges on my small knitted items. Does washing and pinning while damp take care of it? I'm knitting clothes for 18" dolls.

Thanks!

What stitch are you using? Curling happens 99.9% of the time when you're using stockinette stitch. You would have to use a wide border of garter or seed stitch to stop the curling. But since you're making dolls clothes, I don't think a wide border would work.
