Need help with my hooded scarf, please

[Yarnmistress]

The new project I am working on is a hooded scarf from the LB website. It's made with woolease.

 

My problem is, that I chained 193 and then got about 2 rows in and the scarf is starting to curve up on me. I'm wondering is that normal, is that something to do with my tension, can I correct it without frogging all the rows I've done (about 6 so far) ?

That is the pattern I am doing. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks

I think it may just be tension, that your initial chain and first row are too tight. I've had the same problem before, and now try to work very loosely when I first start a long length of chain like that. It sucks to have to frog and start over, but at least you're only a couple rows in. Maybe try working with a hook that is a couple sizes larger for the initial chain? Good luck!

Hi, This is just something to try so you don't have to frog. Turn your work so that the chain is facing you, then with a larger hook, work your pattern stitch. Otherwise, you'll have to start over with the larger hook for the starting chain.

Thank you both for your suggestions.
