Hello Friends!
I've received a few questions about how I do my garter stitch short row heels so I've recorded this little video for you. I hope it gives you a better idea of how to work a garter stitch short row heel.
Here are some written notes to aid you:
Garter Stitch Short Row Heel or
The Crocodile Heel
Divide the total number of sts of your sock circumference in half. You will work this garter stitch short row heel on these sts (I.e. if total sts equals 60 you will work heel on 30 sts) You will now begin working back and forth in rows rather than rounds. Divide heel sts into thirds, placing a marker between each third (i.e. if heel sts equal 30, place a marker after 1st 10 sts and then again after 2nd set of 10 sts. You will have 10 sts, marker, 10 sts, marker, 10 sts)
First Half of Heel
Row 1: Knit across heel sts to 2 sts before end of row, wrap and turn next st, leave last st unworked.
Row 2: Repeat row 1
Row 3: Knit across to 1 st before wrapped st, wrap and turn st
Row 4 - ?: Rep row 3 until you have wrapped and turned ⅓ of sts on the right and the left of center ⅓ sts.
Equator Row: Beginning where you have wrapped the last st, k across all sts on your left hand needle until you have reached the last st, wrap and turn last st, knit across all sts to last st, wrap and turn last st.
Second Half of Heel
Row 1: Knit across first ⅓ st and center ⅓ sts, wrap and turn next st,
Row 2: Knit across center ⅓ sts, wrap and turn next st,
Row 3: Knit across sts to wrapped st, knit wrapped st, wrap and turn next st
Row 4 - ?: Repeat row 3 until you have worked your way back down ⅓ sts on either side of center ⅓ sts.
Join in the round and continue working sock
