Knitting help
I have a knitting problem I need some help with. I'm knitting a baby sweater in the round and it's curling up at the bottom as I knit it and not laying flat. Is this something that I can fix when I block it or will it continue to do this after I'm finished? This is the pattern I'm using. The bottom cuff is garter stitch, and then it is a cable pattern after that. It seems to start curling at the transition between patterns. I'm following the pattern exactly but am using a 100% wool yarn instead of a wool/alpaca/rayon blend. Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to go much further if it's going to turn into a half-shirt instead of a sweater. Thanks knitters!

The sweater that I have in the round curls a bit at the bottom. But blocking helped it stay flat.
Is is garter stitch section curling up to the cable or is the transition where it wants to bend?
I think it is the transition between the garter stitch and the cable pattern that is causing the bend.
I think that'll block out. I really like the pattern - it's very cute. :-)
Other opinions?
I think that I should add something-- I really like the pattern-- but then I realized that there is a reason I only knit scarves and blankets and all of you know it.
