knittingI've just finished my second hat, and I've run into the same problem with both. They both seem to spiral slightly and I can't figure out why. This is only the second time I've knitted in the round so I could be missing something fairly obvious.
(the cast on edge is straight, my model was getting rather annoyed at my fidgeting).
My marker stayed in the same position and I wasn't moving the rib along. It's not blocked, and I hadn't planned on blocking it as it'll face the rain regularly, but I'm not sure that would help anyway. Does anyone have any idea what I've done wrong?
ETA: Thanks for all the help, with it I've discovered I've been knitting into the back of the stitch instead of the front which has caused the twisting.
