As you can see in the picture/video, this edging does NOT prevent the stockinette from curling. Once I have content ready, I will share more edging for stockinette. Follow me on Instagram, Ravelry, and Pinterest to get updates! Also, join the Facebook or Ravelry group “Palmeri – LOVE to knit Group” to meet more knitters! I would be so grateful if you could share your finished projects on these platforms to spread the word💗
