Feel the Heel Socks
20% off from February 25 - March 1. The price is €4.40 during this time. No code needed - the discount is applied automatically on my website.
Feel the Heel Socks are worked from the cuff down. They begin with a double cuff, followed by a 2×1 ribbed leg. The foot combines ribbing and stockinette stitch.
The heel is shaped with increases and short rows for a comfortable fit. The toe is finished with wedge decreases and closed using the Kitchener stitch.
The pattern is written for circular needles and the magic loop method. Stitch counts are color-coded throughout the instructions, and the key stages are supported with detailed video tutorials.
The instructions are not tied to one strict gauge — choose the yarn and needle size that feel right to you.
