On the quest for a sock that doesn’t have any holes in the heel and fits perfectly, I present ten five thirds. The sock will fit an average width foot and you can customize the length. The best part of the heel in this pattern is the ease in which you can make it fit the exact shape of your heel. You may need additional yardage if shoe size is larger than a woman’s size 9.

It is assumed you are familiar with Cat Bordhi’s sweet tomato heel and general sock construction.

Cat Bordhi developed her Sweet Tomato Heel over many months, working closely with over a hundred test knitters of all skill levels. During this time, she distilled her illustrations and explanations again and again, until her test knitters and tech editor agreed the instructions were as clear and perfect as possible. In order to be sure that her work is not misrepresented, Cat asks that designers who wish to use her heel in their patterns send their readers directly to her free videos as well as to purchasing links for her eBook, Cat’s Sweet Tomato Heel Socks ($20), and to the eBook’s individual patterns ($6 each). She is encouraged that many knitters have been able to work from the free videos alone; if not, the eBook or individual patterns will give you the detailed instructions, illustrations, and explanations you need.
