Need Help with Sock Pattern

How-to Questions

Hi Everyone.

I’m knitting socks from a pattern on the back of the yarn label (from Reynolds Swizzle sock yarn).

I’m at the point at the pattern where I turn the heel and the pattern instructions are:

[I]Row 1 (RS): Sl 1, k17, (Sl 1, K1, psso), K1, turn.
Row 2: Sl 1, p5, p2tog, p1, turn.
Row 3: Sl 1, k6, (Sl 1, k1, psso), turn.
Row 4: Sl 1, p7, p2tog, p1, turn.

Continue in this manner until all sts have been worked ending with a K row.[/I]

I’ve knitted the 4 rows, but what does “continue in this manner” mean? Do I just work rows 3 and 4 or am I expected to go back and work all four rows again?

Thank you for any help you can offer.

It means that the next row would be Sl 1, k8, (Sl 1, k1, psso), turn. Continue working one additional stitch each row, staying in pattern, until you’ve used all stitches from the first row.

@TrikkeAddict, thank you so much. After I read your response, I re-read the pattern and it was suddenly so clear. Last night I just could not make sense of it.
