Garter Stitch Short Row Heel
| Instructor: Lucy Neatby | Class Capacity: 25 | |||
| Class Level: Some experience knitting socks. |
Description ~ Garter Stitch Short Row Heel
The GSSRH is wonderful versatile heel. It's thicker fabric is elastic in both dimensions and because of the elasticity the resulting heel/toe is more rounded, thicker and stretchier than a stockinette heel resulting in a better fit.
It can be worked in exactly the same way whether you start your sock at the cuff or toe. It uses a separate yarn to the main sock and doesn't alter your stitch count before and after the heel (helpful in tricky stitch patterns). Also any pattern your self striping yarn has established will be maintained after the heel. You can use a heel specific yarn with extra strength and it can also be removed and replaced if necessary.
