After I worked the regular Garter German Short Row heel, I realized I wanted it deeper, but all of my ideas for adding the extra heel flap rows didn’t work out in my mind. So I repeated the second wedge of the German Short Row heel. I liked this wedge even better than the join to my first wedge, So I tried the second sock with my ideas and like it so much that I ripped out the first heel and duplicated my experiment. LOVE IT! Nice and round without the funny decrease lines on the sides of the heels. I worked each heel separately in tandem and then put them back on magic loop.

Place markers across these stitches in thirds. For the 72 st count, I have 13, 10, 13 stitches across the back with markers where the commas are.

I shifted my stitches on this round to continue working 2 at a time on magic loop. I decided to do the cuff ribbing all the way up the back of the sock with no cable twists on the back. So I shifted my socks around so that each side started with K2, P2 and then only worked the cables on the front sides.

4 repeats before cuff

20 rounds 2x2 rib for the cuff
