Elizabeth Zimmerman moccasin sock directions/pattern

#1

She instructs you to slip your first stitches. I understand that. Then you go to the row by row instructions. No mention of slipping the stitch. Do I slip a stitch, then do whatever the direction says? Will I have enough stitches?

#2

If EZ says to slip the first st, then slip the first st. You can always count your sts and the pattern direction sts to assure yourself that you have enough sts.

#3

That slipped stitch is counted as the 1st st unless she states othewise.

#4

Thank you for your help. The first stitch in the pattern row was a K1, so instead of knitting that stitch, I slipped it, and it worked! Yeah!! Can’t wait to see how they turn out. My first pair of socks!
