It looks like you won't have to do too much decreasing to get an even side, maybe 4-8 stitches, based on the picture. The best thing that you can do is swatch, or just knit smaller samples, with various decreases. Anyway, this is what I do frequently for my sweaters to get a straight side.

Didn't even occur to me to try it your way! Thanks so much for your very useful tip and I am off to swatch :-)  Post time 2018-8-4 17:42

Thanks so much for your very useful tip. I found that by knitting the first rib, down sizing the needle for 4 rows and then completing the rest of it in a larger needle stopped the flaring.  Post time 2018-8-4 17:41
