garter stitch is when the rows alternate knit, purl, knit, purl. Since purl is the reverse of knit, for a scarf you just have to set aside a few stitches for your border on either side and knit all of them every row.

How to finish a knitted scarf?
bind the scarf off. knit 2, pull the 1st stitch over the second, knit one, pull the first over the second and repeat. when you are down to the last stitch, cut the yarn about 6 inches from the loop and pull the loop outward to secure the end of the work. weave in the ends.
How do you stop the edges of your knitting from rolling in?
You can either add a few rows of garter stitch (which is knit every row) or you can do a few rows of ribbing (which is knit 1, purl 1). One of my favorite boarders to put on sweaters or scarves is the seed stitch (knit 1, purl 1 to the end of the row and turn your work, then you purl the knit stitches and knit the purls and you just keep repeating that every time you turn your work)
When knit pattern says work garter stitch slipping the first st. of every row how is it done?
Every row will go as follows: 1. Insert the right needle into the first stitch as if you were going to knit it. Pull the left needle out of the stitch WITHOUT knitting it. That's slipping a stitch knit-wise. 2. Knit all remaining stitches to the end. 3. Turn and repeat. Slipping the first stitch gives the fabric an attractive selvage (edge). Garter stitch also gives an attractive selvage. I'm guessing that they're asking for the slipped stitch edging because it is easier to pick up if you want to add more stitches along the side later on. If you are doing a scarf, there is no need to worry about it. Plain garter stitch will look tidy and attractive without the slipped stitch at the beginning of the row.

You are knitting a scarf using knit one row purl a row it keeps rolling up at the ends is there a way you can fix it without changing the pattern?
When you alternate between knit and purl rows (knit one row, purl one row, knit one row, purl one row, etc.) it is called the Stockinette stitch.Unfortunately, the stockinette stitch always curls at the edges, and worse, there is no easy or perfect way to fix this problem. If you have a knowledge of crochet stitches, you could crochet an edging around the scarf, but this would change the whole look of the scarf, and there is no guarantee that it would work.The best way to avoid this problem with future scarves is to knit it in garter stitch (knit every row), or another stitch that will not curl. Also, if you like the look of the stockinette stitch and would still like to use it, then work in stockinette, but at the beginning of each purl row, knit the first three stitches and the last three stitches. If you do this, remember to change the yarn to the back or front of the work depending on whether you are changing to the knit or purl stitch.
