I'm not sure it's due to the pattern itself though! I've read some blog entries by people who complaned their Jaywalkers were tight, and it sounds as though they just decided "Since I always knit with only 'x' stitches, and the small has more than 'X' stitches, I'll knit the size small." You can't do that with a chevron sock because the slanting of the chevrons makes the effective gauge much smaller than stockinette! Grumperina's pattern actually *does* give both the chevron and stockinette gauges, but I think some knitters think "No, that just can't be!" I’ve heard that too.

I'm always confused. Oh, how I wish all patterns would indicate slip as to purl or slip as to knit, as appropriate. I’m always confused.

I'm finding when I do a line that uses this technique that I end up with one more stitch so I was wondering if this was a single or double decrease and how you actually do it. You've cleared it all up for me, thankyou! A great description of a tricky to understand technique for a beginner like me.
