How can I prevent the ends from turn
ReplyDeleteing in? I'm half way through with knitting this but why won't it lay flat?
I've knit 12 inches of this headband and do love the pattern However the ends turn under. Can I fix this? Does it need blocking? It's knit in Red Heart Soft acrylic yarn.
ReplyDeleteWhere do I use the cable?
