Jaywalker in Opal Rainforest Tiger
When this photo was taken last night I had just finished the heel flap & tonight whilst DD was swimming I turned the heel & picked up the stitches for the instep.
So far so good...
And then I hit a problem.
I'm knitting the sock on two 30cm addis & the pattern is written for dpns. After working row two of the pattern at the front of the sock repeating twice, I then picked 18 stitches along the heel flap & now I'm stuck.
The pattern reads:
"K12 from the heel needle. There are 21 sts on needles #2 & 3, 30 sts on #1 & #4.
Round 1: Work to 3 sts from end of needle #1, k2tog, k1. Work instep sts in established pattern (round 1 of zigzag pattern). K1, ssk at beginning of needle #4, work to end."
I've sat down with a piece of paper & still can't figure out how I transpose the pattern written for dpns into a pattern for two circs. I have the required 102 stitches & now need to decrease for the instep but can't work out where.
Can anybody who has knitted Jaywalkers on circs help me out????

I have done all of mine on two circulars. I'm not sure what you don't understand. On one circular I kept the pattern stitches - 38. On the other circular - the one I did the heel on - I keep decreasing along the gusset until I have 32 stitches. The I knit until I'm ready to decrease for the heel - the 38 stitches in pattern, the 32 stitches in st.
Basically you don't touch the pattern stitches - they should remain exactly the same as they were before you started the heel flap - you decrease on either side of the pattern - does that make sense? Just think of it this way - st stiches on one circ, pattern stitches on the other.
Let me know if you still need help.
