I have finished the picot edge and have 74 stitches. EVERY time I k2tog then YO I end up with 73 stitches on the needles. What am I missing here?

I was going to try YO then k2tog next, but I thought I should ask first.

Thanks to anyone who can shed the light. Ruth

This colorway contains all of my granddaughters favorite colors.  I knit the taller pair in her size, then started on the anklets, but only had enough for one sock.  I need to order more, but want to be sure to order the correct weight.

Gumdrops Socks - Large Size Pattern Question

July '08 Kit Questions | August 09, 2008
By Rosemary Chapman

After knitting set up rounds 1-4 and rounds 1-16 of gumdrops transition patttern once….Keeping instep sts in gumdrops pattern and remaining sts in rib, work even for 30 more rounds.  My question is - what do I knit the 30 more rounds in? the gumdrops leg pattern or the gumdrops pattern for instep?  Also, are we still moving the markers out 5 sts on rounds 6 and 14?  Sorry to be so dumb…..too many irons in my little fire of a brain! 

 JC, I think this pattern absolutely rocks!!!

Gumdrop Socks: Yarn usage for size large

If you have knit the large size, how much of the yarn did you use? I was thinking about knitting the large and having the pattern stretch around the whole sock like for the other sizes but I’m afraid I won’t have enough yarn. Is there any other reason this wouldn’t work?

 Thanks!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE YARN AND THE 2 PATTERNS!!!   i am doing both socks!!!  i am using Lil Bunny Foo Foo for the anklets!!! BUT… i can’t figure out how to do the picot edge.  All the videos i have googled show using a provisional cast on!!!!  i get that you fold the edge… but to make it right side out… it looks like i would fold it into the center of the sock.   i am using 2 circulars… but how to you use the LEFT needle to p/u a loop of the co edge???  How do you catch from the “inside” and knit them together???  Is there a video that i wasn’t able to find that shows the technique that applies to our pattern??????
