This is my first attempt at making socks.
My sock pattern tells me to divide my stitches, by knitting so many stitches, then putting half of them on a holder.
Then it tells me:
Sl1 then purl across. Turn.
then for the next row
Sl1 K1 across the row to the end. Turn.
My question is, do I need to slip the stitches knitwise on the knit row and purlwise on the purl row? Or do I simply slip the stitches onto the other needle (which would be purlwise)
Also, at the beginning of each row, I am to slip 1. Knitwise? Purlwise? I am unclear. I looked a seeral patterns, and they all just say Sl1.

When a pattern says to slip one, slip purlwise unless the pattern specifies otherwise (often decreases are slipped knitwise). For a sock heel, I slip purlwise on all the heel rows.
