I would love to help you, but I don't understand your problem. Where does it say to "repeat"? I don't see that word. I do see "continue in this mannner," which would have you slip 1, p6, p2 tog, p1 turn work in the next row. Is that what you are asking? You have a progression here, and they want you to continue that progression. The 16 stitches are worked in the first or "turn heel" row only.

Don't replace any stitches. You are now making the very fatest part of the sock taper down toward what will be the toe. So you are gradually decreasing.

Do you understand ssk?

No, no repeats needed. When it says turn, do that and
work the next row. You won't be working all the stitches
across a row until you get to the end

Here is a link that might be useful: heel

Thank you so much. I was thinking repeats but I really needed to pay closer attention to the instructions. I get it now. I was so frustrated. Thanks again. :)

Turning the heels on socks makes absolutely no sense until you've done the first one. When my friend Lisa made her first one, I lent her my old sock pattern and told her, "Just do EXACTLY what the instructions tell you to do. DON'T try to analyze it and DON'T try to anticipate what's coming." She called me the next day all excited about turning the heel, and that I'd given her good advice. She tends to be very analytical and she'd have been a wreck trying to figure out just what the point of the instructions were!
