Hi,
I’m knitting my first sock from a book of sock patterns by Charlotte Stone (I’m ignoring the colour work for now).
I’ve finished the leg, reached the heel flap. I’ve put the needles for the heel flap onto the same DPN as instructed:
"The heel is worked flat and knit back and forth using 28(32,36) sts that are currently on Needle 1. Needle 2 is holding the 28(32,36) sts for the instep.
Row 1 (RS). *S11, K1; repeat from * to end of the row. Turn.
Row 2 (WS). S11, purl to the end of the row. Turn.
What I don’t understand is… Surely there needs to be a different number of slip stitches relative to the different sizes? Sure those 2 rows will work for the largest option (36 stitches on the needle) but how do I make this work for the middle option of 32 stitches on the needle? Also is it deliberate that the RS row has an * and repeat whereas the WS does not??
Many thanks for helping in advance!
