This is my first pair of socks, and I am having trouble picking up the gussets. When I finish turning the heel, I have 15 stitches on needle #1, ready to knit with needle #2, correct? However, when I pick up the 16 plus 1 stitches for the gusset, the working yarn is in the middle of the stitches on needle #1, and the next step has you knitting on needle #2 and #3, with no mention of the stitches you picked up on needle #1. How is this supposed to work? Also, when does needle #4 come back in? At this point, I only have 3 needles holding stitches... Help!

Your solving of my mystery was exactly right. I kept thinking I started with the wrong # of stitches so I would never get it right, but 24 is the right starting #. Because I'm so new at knitting socks I had zero trust that I was doing it right. Thanks again for taking the time to help me out. Hi Dawn, thanks for the answer.

I didn't have any trouble at all on my first sock. but now ...at the end of the heel flap I have 24 stitches? [is that right? then when I follow the pattern...] Turn Heel: K 1/2 the stitches plus 2 more, K2tog, K1, turn [so, knit 14 stiches, then kstog, k1 and carry on as below...] Sl 1 P5, P2tog, P1, turn Sl 1, K6, k2tog, K1, turn Sl 1, P7, P2tog, P1, turn Cont. working one extra stitch each time (K8, P9, K10, P11…) [at the end these I have more stitches to purl than knits??] [is it right that I would continue from the P7 row with sl 1, k8, k2tog, k1, turn sl 1, p9, p2tog, p1, turn sl 1, k10, k2tog, k1, turn sl 1, p11, p2tog, p1, turn sl 1, k12, k2tog, k1, turn sl 1, p13, p2tog, p1, turn sl 1, k14, k2tog, k1, turn sl 1, p15, p2tog, p1, turn sl 1, k16... ?] doing it like that I'm running out of stitches to work on the knit side when I still have stitches to work on the purl side. Hope you understand my problem, my description isn't great... I've ripped out 3 times tonight and still can't get it. As far as I know, I followed exactly on my first sock and it worked out fine. I'm sure I'm doing something goofy... Help!! I didn’t have any trouble at all on my first sock. but now

You seem to be missing a P1 at the end of each of the purl rows. Loving the pattern so far. It's my first sock! There’s a mistake in your heel turn.
