psso

[atlantaanita]

I'm knitting a baby blanket. It has squares of 11 knits and 11 purls. There is a small pattern in the middle of the knitted squares. The row that starts the design has K5, yfwd, s1, k1, psso, k4. Should I end up with 11 knitted stiches after this? I have 10. So I must not be doing the psso incorrectly. Any assistance is appreciated.

K5, yfwd (6 stitches)

s1, k1, psso (slip one, knit one, then pass the slipped stitch over the knit one, dropping it off the needle -- one stitch)

k4 (4 stitches)

I get 11!
