Subsequently, one may also ask, why are the edges of my knitting loose?

If you're getting a column of loose stitches along the edge of your knitting, it's probably a sign that the tension is uneven between your end stitches and the center ones. When you're knitting the edge stitches, tug the working yarn a little tighter than you normally would to help keep the stitch a little smaller.

One may also ask, how do I stop my knitting from curling the edges? To keep the edges from curling when you're knitting a scarf, choose a stitch pattern that won't curl, such as the garter stitch, seed stitch, or basketweave stitch. If the edges are still curling, try adding an extra border with one of these stitches, or apply fabric backing or sewing tape to hold the fibers in place.

Also question is, why is my knitting curling on the sides?

The reason it curls has to do with the very structure of the stitches. When you're working a pattern that has knits and purls on both sides, this difference in stitch size doesn't matter, but when you're working in stockinette stitch, where all the knit stitches are on one side of the work, the knitting tends to curl.

What is the difference between garter stitch and stockinette stitch?

garter stitch is knit on both sides. In order to do stockinette and get the V's on one side, you need to do one row of knit, then turn and the next row in purl. When you knit in the round, as with your friend, you get stockinette by knitting every round, since you're always knitting on the right side.

How do you keep garter stitch edge neat?

To get a neat edge, on every row I knit to the last stitch, then slip the last stitch purl-wise with the yarn at the front of the work (abbreviated to "wyif"). To do this I am going to slip the last stitch with the yarn at the front of the work (wyif), so first I need to bring the working yarn to the front.
