Hi Henry.

The most common borders are garter stitch, knitting every row, or seed
stitch.  Seed stitch is:

Row 1:  Knit 1, purl 1.

Row 2:  Knit the purl stitches and purl the knit stitches.

 

You need at least 5 stitches in the border to stop curling, but you can have
more if you want a wider border.  For the ends, you could work more than 5
rows.  Dishcloth patterns often have around 8 rows of top and bottom border.

Tracy

I am planning to knit a scarf with 31 stitches on my size eight Denise
Interchangeable Circular Needles in the Stockinette stitch, and, I would
like to know what borders for the top, bottom and sides of the scarf that
won't curl up on me that I should use.

I will be using Red Heart Four Ply Knitting Worsted yarn for this scarf.

Thank you for your help.

Henry
