No, work the 2nd needle without any incs, do them all on the 3rd needle. On the 3rd needle work until you have 12 sts left, then you would k1, inc, k1, inc, etc.

Q2: Sl1-slip one stitch.
Just move the st from the left needle to the right, don’t knit or purl it.

Q3: Slip last 18 sts of last round ….
Move them from one needle to another

Q4. Turn – turn to the other side?
Turn your work as if you were at the end of a row. Just switch the needle from the right hand to the left.

Q5.Row 4-sl1 compared to row 1 sl1 Make Heel.
I think by compare', they mean the same as’. So yeah, just like you did before.

Q6. Psso-pas slipped stitch over.
Q7. passo is the same as s1k1psso?
Yes, it’s the same. PSSO means pass the slipped stitch over. So does passo, it’s probably a typo for psso.

Q8. 1st rnd-2nd needle: work the second needle on the lace pattern using “knit to last 3 sts, k2tog. K1 just like 1st needle.
So i am supposed to knit until the last 3 stitches, then i use k2tog?
YEs, knit till there’s 3 sts on the needle, k2tog, then k the last one.
