So I am making these eyelet socks from Garnstudio. The pattern is a free .pdf.

Everything has gone swimmingly, from the lovely picot edge, through the first very simple lace pattern, right down to (eerie music) Chart M2.


The chart's all in Norwegian, but offers this English translation:
Explanation to pattern diagram (explanations in the same order as symbols on the Norwegian chart, which is a graphic, as this bit doesn't seem to be.

= K
= P
= yo
= K2 tog
= slip 1 st as if to knit, K1, psso

Right, here's the picture.



The problem I'm having is in Round 12 of chart M2.

As I read this, the instructions for the Round 12 pattern (from right to left, because I learned to read charts flat and just do it that way) should be:
K3, yo, [s1, k1, psso], k2tog, yo, k3

Problem: There are 9 blocks on the chart.
Those instructions require 10 stitches.

Am I reading the chart wrong? Could it be a misprint? The photo of the socks seems to show a symmetrical lace block below that first eyelet band, which is where we are in the pattern. I'm thiking seriously about just subbing the pattern on Round 16, which does add up to nine in my estimation, and having done. Any other suggestions?

the two stitches slant opposite ways and are supposed to look like mirror images. (There are a couple of other ways to do the decrease that slants that way and different knitters each have their favorites.) At one point I found a web page with a demonstration someone had done of the different increases and decreases and explanations. You could scroll down and see them all and how they each looked in the finished piece.
