for some reason when i knit a scarf (that's about all i can do right now) the edges curl up all the way to the center. my mom has been knitting since she was little and can't figure out what is happening. she said that maybe if i try to steam it with an iron it should flatten out, and it does.... until it cools off again. i also tried different types of yarn, and that doesn't help either. what am i doing that could possibly cause a scarf to curl up like that?

oh, and if it helps, i use size 13(9mm) needles, and i always do knit one, purl one.
