Free Basic Crochet Socks Pattern

Not clearly written

I rocked along fine with this pattern u til the part nobody can figure out…the heel. It’s not that shaping a heel is hard, but it’s written so ambiguously that it simply makes no sense. It’s unfortunate because the socks turn out beautifully but I kind of had to go off pattern at that point and figure it out for myself.

Pattern is nor understandable

Unfourtuately i cant moove on on the pattern from 3rd row (shape the heel). Shape heel: 1st row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each of next 13 sc. (Sc2tog) twice. Turn. 2nd row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each of next 3 sts. (Sc2tog) twice. Turn. 3rd row: Ch 1. 1 sc in each of next 5 sts. (Sc2tog) twice. Turn. After row 1 I have total of 5 stitches, so i can´t understand where i suppose to put (Sc2tog) twice. I would apreciate ad explanation, that is more understandable. everathing else is finde and thank you for putting this pattern our for free :)

• We have a video tutorial for the heel shaping. Though it is for a different pattern, the socks are constructed the same. Perhaps the visual is just what you need to move forward with confidence. There are timestamps in the description box for your convenience. https://youtu.be/Wuo2DQjHPo8?si=7F8XI0WGWP1gys6h

• We are sorry the pattern did not adjust for you as expected. All the sizes are included in the printed version of the pattern. The instructions are written for smallest size. If changes are necessary for larger sizes the instructions will be written thus ( ). Numbers for each size are shown in the same color throughout the pattern. When only one number is given in black, it applies to all sizes. Instructions for the 9/10 size are printed in green.

Shape heel row 1 results in 15 stitches then turn, Row 2 results in 5 stitches (3 sc and 2 sc2tog). Row 3 is then 7 stitches, 2 of which are sc2tog, but if I only have 5 stitches from the previous row I don’t have enough stitches to do this???

When making the heel, on the row with the first decrease, are all 13 single crochets decreases, or is it 13 single crochets then two decreases? Also, what does ‘twice’ refer to when working the rounds with the decreases in the heel?

I've reached the section in the pattern Make Heel. The third row says "1 long sc in next sc 1 row below". What does this mean? Where do I make the stitch - is this a front post/back post stitch or something else?
