Hello. New to Knitting Forum.
I am knitting socks. At heel (26 stitches on needle) pattern reads:
1st row: K14, s1, k1, psso, k1 turn
2nd row: P4, p2tog, p1 turn
3rd row: K5, s1, k1, psso, k1 turn
4th row: P6, p2tog, p1 turn
Cont dec as set until 16 stitches remain
When I am finished with 4th row and turn there are not enough stitches to complete the 1st row i.e. repeat the four rows.
I am baffled.
Would appreciate some assistance. Thank you in advance.
Welcome to KH!
You started with 26sts for the heel and you should end with 16sts. You should be able to work 10 rows with one dec in each row (6 more rows after the 4 rows given in the pattern). a gap forms where you turn the work and you’re knitting or purling until one stitch before the gap then knitting or purling together the stitches on either side of the gap.
Maybe give it another try or try it again with scrap yarn.
You can see the gap (~1.55min) in this video although the instructions for this heel are slightly different.
Thank you. Appreciate assistance. Will give it a try.
