curling corners

[sgi]

Is there a way to stop the corners of my crochet pieces from curling back? Also, narrow pieces tend to twist as I crochet even though I keep the starting chain straight.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Sgi,
I've found out that on the corners if I chain, the corners will be straighter(more of a square)(That's if I'm crocheting a edging around the square).

Hello and welcome from Pa. I think once you get a couple of rows on it will straighten out for you
