Hi,
Here is the row in which the abreviation occurs. This is after the border
rows.
1st row: (RS). K1. (K2tog. yfwd) 19 times. K1. (yfwd. Sl1. K1. psso) 19
times. K1.
So, I hope this helps. I'm sure the first letters are yarn forward but what
do the others mean? What does yarn forward mean? I hope you can help.
Also, do you know an easy way to increase evenly across the row? Please let
me know. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Denise

>>> The cons to this type of heel verses the traditional flap

>>> Almost exclusively, I wear Dansko clogs, Crocs, or

>>>
>>> Sock designer Chrissy Gardiner has so much info to share

>>>
>>> Sock Conversions: Getting Your Head Around Your Heels

>>> I started out as a traditional top-down, Dutch heel sort of

>>>
>>> I design nearly all of the socks that I knit, which makes it

>>> Switching a short-row heel for a flap heel, changing the

>>> When you're finished working the first half of the short-row

>>>
>>> Reversing Direction

>>> The Heel Calculators

>>> Chrissy provides three heel calculators-one for short-row,

>>>
>>> As you can see from the snapshot at right, the heel
