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.

What does sl1 mean on knitting pattern?

What does sl1 mean in knitting?
In knitting, sl1 means to slip one stitch. To do this simply slip the stitch from the left hand needle to the right without knitting it. Stitches can either be slipped purlwise or knitwise. If slipped purlwise, the stitch will not twist but if slipped knitwise it will twist. Therefore, if the pattern does not specify which way to slip the stitch, it is best to slip purlwise. See the related link for a diagram showing how to slip stitches.

What is the best way to adjust a knitting pattern from size 34 to size 36?
If you are knitting without a garment pattern. It's nearly impossible to translate people sizes from clothes to knitting. Unless a size determines "inches", sizes are not really determined and regulated for uniformity. They are set as a rule of thumb and each design company establishes what is a specific size. That's why clothes run bigger or smaller and not an exact fit. Also the marketing value, specially for female clothes, of wearing something that says size 2 and fits like a glove when you really are not a size2.

How do you publish a free knitting pattern that you made without starting your own website?
There are many ways to share a pattern of your own design. You can start a blog and post it there. If you are on Facebook you can write a "note" and publish it there. If you are on a forum, some allow you to publish it in their pattern section. I am not familiar with knitting forums, but Crochetville allows this. Craftown publishes patterns from many designers on their web site at craftown. That would be pretty simple as all you have to do is provide the pattern. They do the rest. I would have the pattern checked for accuracy, include instructions for any special stitches or abbreviations used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- you can also join ravelry and publish it there. There are also people who will 'test' your pattern for you before you do publish which is a great thing.
