 I just finished my first hat (knit in the round) but it has this weird curl on the brim. The hat flips up and makes a round rolled brim, by itself. My aborted previous hat project didn't, but it was ribbed at the bottom. Any idea what would cause this? Did I cast on the wrong way or something? What gives?

Stockinette stitch always curls up ( ), is that what you used? Ribbing will eliminate any curling, so that's why your previous project didn't do this.
Ooh, that makes sense. Yeah, it's stockinette straight through.

 Does anyone know of a good online tutorial for socks? I took out a pattern book from the library, but it's sort of over my head.

Also Ann Budd's sock knitting book is amazing. There aren't a lot of fancy patterns, but there are extensive directions about the basic sock, and instructions for 5 different sizes in 5 different gauges (4-8).
Thank you! I never had any idea how crazy complicated socks were before this.
