how to knit bootees
I am just a new comer to the world of knitting. I have just completed a pair of mittens and a bonnet. Now I was trying to knit a pair of bootees for my little angel, but i am not able to proceed from the instep onwards. I am attaching the following instructions which i am not able to decipher.

after casting 39 sts, the pattern commences for 4 rows. then,
1st row- s1, K8, (k2 tog, K8) 3 times. (36 sts)
2nd row - S1,*p1,yrn,p2tog, rep from * to last 2 sts, p1, yon, k1(37sts)
3rd row - S1,(p1,k1) 11 times, k1, turn
4th row- S1,(k1,p1) 4 times, k2, turn
working on these 11 sts only work 16 rows in moss st to form instep. Break off yarn
WIth right side facing, rejoin yarn to instep end of first 13 sts which were left, pick up and knit 14sts evenly along right side of instep, work across 11 sts as follows: (p1,k1)5 times, p1, pick up and knit 14 sts evenly along left side of instep, work across remaining 13 sts as follows:(k1,p1) 6 times , k1(65 sts). work 11 rows in moss st.

Firstly,I am not able to follow the 3rd and 4th row were it says turn.
Does it mean to the right side or wrong side?
Secondly, working on 11sts.....
Thridly, the para on picking up stitches and rejoining the yarn to the 13sts... I am not clear on these set of instructions

Can some one help me.. many many thanks
