Crocheted piece is forming a point

I crocheted a curtain, and now it’s forming a point on one side. What can I do without ripping it back out??
I’d be grateful for any ideas

Which points are you talking about? I can’t see anything in the photo.
Have you blocked it yet? If the edge is uneven, here’s what you could do: crochet a row of single crochet all the way around it

Sorry, I only just took the picture. On the right side

Have you blocked it yet? That’s a good way to even out small irregularities. And a row of single crochet holds the edges together well, so you can use that to even things out, too.

No, I haven't. I'll wash it and then block it.

Yeah, I think washing it first and then blocking it would be a good idea
You could put one of those color-catcher sheets in with it when you wash it
you don’t want the whole curtain to end up blue afterwards
or is it wool that doesn’t bleed at all?

But the motif in the middle turned out really beautifully
so no one will be looking at the bottom right edge anyway.

P.S.
How long did it take you to make it, and what kind of yarn did you use?

Thanks—you can only see it from the inside anyway.
It’s crocheted with crochet yarn using a size 1.5 hook, so it can’t discolor. I’ve already made several curtains; I only use crochet yarn.
I didn’t keep track this time—about 4–5 weeks. Sometimes I write down the date, but unfortunately not this time.
Best regards, Hilde
