I made some popcorn earlier to think about your dilemma. Crunching and thinking are a good combo for me. I kept thinking that, and I'm probably wrong, on a hat, you are binding it to more ribbing (maybe??) and so it was being attached to another stretchy fabric. Whereas binding it to stockinette stops it short of any further flexibility and the caston edge IS like steel really.
But if you were making a hat like a kep or other stockinette style, that theory goes right out the window.
Andrea Mowrey has a good provisional folded collar video. I'll edit this and link it here in a sec as I'm currently on my cell phone.
I hope a knitting master chimes in with the cause because this is going to bother me and I want to know the answer.
Thanks, I should try again with that one. I don't think the final result is any different than the way I was doing it, but clearly omething funky was happening! If I wasn't so fed up with it, I'd take a close look at my hats to see if I could figure out what I did there.
Edit-The hats were just stockinette beanies, so there's no difference there. It's a puzzle.
