[Nfb-krafters-korner] scarf help needed

[Tanya Wheatley]

Hi Henry,

When I do a scarf using the purl as the border, I purl the same number of 
stitches on each side. I know what Carol said about not doing the purl 
stitch for the last one on the shawl, but I've always done say four stitches 
at the beginning of my purl rows and at the end. So, if you are doing the 
e-wrap stitch going clockwise, you will do the purl stitches at the 
beginning and end of your counterclockwise rows to provide a nice border and 
prevent the curling of the sides of the scarf. If you want to prevent the 
edges from curling as well, you might wish to do a row of e-wraps followed 
by an entire row of purls and repeat that twice.

Hope this helps!

Tanya
