I am working on a Christmas stocking and do not understand the following.

Slip rem 8 sts onto a st holder.
Starting at right heel and using MC, k 8 sts from holder, pick up and k 9 sts along edge of heel, k 26 sts from centre st holder, pick up and k 9 sts along edge of other heel, k 8 sts from rem st holder. 60 sts now on needle.

I do understand the first sentence, but as I keep reading I get lost.

any help would be aprreciated.

Amy has a video here about picking up stitches - it’s the second video under the heading “Assorted Topics.”

Hope this helps!
