Explore various heels for your hand knit socks. Learn new heel construction and tips for the heels you already know. Find one that fits your feet the best and learn to customize that for all patterns. Heels covered in class are heel flap and gusset, short rows heel, Fleegle/Strong heel, and the Afterthought heel. The heel flap and gusset will be for a top-down sock. The other heels can be used for both top-down and toe-up socks.

Beginner Plus/Intermediate. You must already have knitted a few pairs of socks.

What You'll need:

Instructions will be for fingering/sock weight yarn. Students may choose to knit these heels for new socks, or choose to knit the heels as swatches. Your one skein purchase of fingering weight yarn should be enough knit all four heel swatches. Size 2.25mm/2.5 mm needles for whichever method students are used to for knitting socks (DPNs, Magic Loop, 2-circulars)

Homework: There will be homework prior to each class, such as knitting at minimum, a cuff so we can knit the heel in class. Purchase your yarn and needles before the date of your first class - we'll need to show you how to get your yarn wound up. Please make sure your contact information is current in your profile. (cell phone number as well as email)
