Best Answer

Assuming you are doing stockinette stitch (knit the front side and purl the back side), your knitting is curling because that's precisely what stockinette stitch does. To make it stop, put a band of garter stitch (knit the front side AND the back side) or ribbing around the piece and that will make it lie flat.
