Introverts Party Socks Part 2
Ready for Part 2 of the #introvertspartysock KAL?
These are directions for a standard short row heel using the wrap and turn (W&T) method. Quite honestly though, in this scenario I often use the fish lips kiss heel - which is just 1 dollar on Ravelry - and well worth the money.
The heel uses the wrap-and-turn method, and is worked back and forth on N2.
Set-up row (RS): N1: Drop working yarn (do not break) Using contrast yarn work in pattern as set across all sts. Do not turn.
Next row (RS): K31 (35), W&T (always slip wrapped st back to right-hand needle), and turn.
Next row (WS): P30 (34), W&T. Next row (RS): K29 (33), W&T Next row (WS): P28 (32), W&T.
Keep going in this fashion, working 1 less st each time (ie working to 1 st before the last wrapped st), until you work a final WS row:
Next row (WS): P10 (12), W&T.
You will have 10 (12) central sts and 11 (12) wrapped sts on either side.
For the second half of the short-row heel, you will work back across each of these wrapped sts, wrapping them again.
Next row (RS): K10 (12), k first wrapped st (pick up wrap and knit it together with that st), wrap next st
(this will now be double-wrapped) and turn.
Next row (WS): P11 (13), p first wrapped st (together with its wrap), wrap next st, and turn.
Next row (RS): K12 (14) (this will take you to the first double-wrapped st), pick up both wraps (from the front, bottom to top) and knit them together with the st, wrap next st, and turn.
Next row (WS): P13 (15), pick up both wraps (from the front, bottom to top) and purl them together with that st, wrap next st and turn.
Keep going in this fashion, working to the first double-wrapped st, picking up both wraps from front of work (bottom to top) and working them together with that st, wrapping the next st, and turning. Continue until all sts have been worked and you are ready to commence working in the round again.
