Default No curl fabric

Hello,

I'm new to machine knitting and have just acquired an old Singer 322
with ribber. My son wants me to make him a Dr Who scarf (ie long).
My problem is finding a stitch pattern that won't curl. I'd be
grateful for any suggestions or book recommendations. Is rib fabric
the only option?

Tuck won't curl, either, and has the advantage of being on one bed.
Another way to do it is to knit it "in the round" so that it's a smooth
knit on the outside, and since there are no edges, it won't "curl."
