I'll be taking you step by step, through the basics, just the way I have taught at workshops.
I show you an easy method for joining your cast on edge in to the round, plus show you how and why I use stitch markers, to help keep track of where you are in the round.

I love this tutorial. I found it so easy to follow as I was making the heel along with you. I love how You demonstrated the necessary stitches and explained it as you went along. Thank you for making German Short Row heels possible for me. ❤
After trying three other videos it finally made sense with yours. Thanks for your thorough explanation of how it's done!
Best GSR heal video ever Thank you so much
Thank you for this brilliant video, I wish I'd found it sooner! I have prevously watched loads of other videos for picking up underarm stitches and they've either been way too complicated, or someone cobbling together a seemingly random selection of stitches badly. Your video is just perfect; instantly understandable, clear directions! Thank you again.
Thank you for such a fantastic tutorial. I have just completed my first heal without holes thanks to you. It's my first pair of socks, and had to rip back a couple of times, but no more thanks to you.
Very good instructions !!! You're a great teacher 😊 !!!
You are very good to explain , i was lost, Thank you so much
You have explained magic loop technique the best I have ever seen. I sure wish your video was out when I was trying to learn this. Best training video ever !!! Thank you.
I’m new to crochet after knitting forever. Lovely tutorials…do you have any written instructions as well please? 😊
Fantastic video, this is the best explanation of German short row heel that I’ve seen. I’m knitting socks right now and am anxious to finish them so I can try this method.
Brilliant tutorial, thank you. Can I ask the purpose of the double stitches?
Hi, how many stitches in the final row should there be?
Thank you for the free pattern.
Great tutorial! Thanks
I just found your video. Fantastic! I followed your instructions, knitting with you (not the fast bits) and I am so happy with my first toe up sock. I bought your pattern from Ravelry so I can go ahead and make the second sock. Thank you again for the brilliant video.
Thank you! This was the best poppy I've seen crochet. I'm going to make and handout for veterans day!
Hi I love your tutorial and wonder if you also have written instructions, so next time I don't have to have the video on. I realize this is a long shot.
Wendy, please can you do a video tutorial for the sleeves once you have picked up the underarm stitches
I so appreciate this extremely helpful and detailed tutorial! Thank you for doing this!
This is Double Crochet not Treble/triple crochet.
Hi There, I’m using UK stitch terminology. A UK treble stitch is the same as a USA double crochet. Although it’s the same stitch the USA and UK have different names and I’m in the UK. Hope that’s helped explain it for you.
@@WendyPooleTheDressmaker thanks. I was getting confused
Cat bordhi sweet tomato heel 0:57 1:01
Cat Bordhi 1:50 sweet tomato heel socks 2:45
Oh, my goodness! This is a fantastic tutorial! I've mainly done the heel flap and gusset technique for my first few pairs of socks, and I wanted to try something that looked a bit more streamlined. This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much for the in-depth, step-by-step tutorial! It was wonderful! ^^!
Thank you for the tutorial 🌺❤️🇬🇧
What yarn are you using and are you using 5 colors. Thank you Ella
Yes I’ve used 5 colours of Stylecraft Special DK yarn. Hope that helps 😊
One more question. What colors do you use. I looked and hard to tell what color to order. Thanks Ella.
Very good learning video. Thank you ❤ i dido the comment of seagrapegrove. This video is the best .
Thanks so much for sharing this technique, very clear for a relative novice crocheter ❤
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you 😊
Real nice job, one question. How do you terminate the last stitch bind off ,when you work with ccircular needles. How do you connect with the beginning of the row. Thanks for the answer. Evangéline
So so helpful thank you!
Thank God! I was about to give up learning this technique. I knit right handed also and all the videos I found used continental knitting, which made harder for me to see what they were doing. And your words were so clear, and the video isn't full of faff. Bless you!
Finally! A poppy pattern that I like and is easy to follow. Thank you Wendy Poole.
This is the best video out there for German short row heels. It’s easy to follow and accurate. This video is exquisite
Great tutorial. Thank you!
I am very happy that I found your video :) Finally I have made something that looks nice :) Thank you:)
Thank you so much this it is the best tutorial l have seen, can I apply the same to work on a 9 in new circular? 🙏
Thank you!!
this is such an elegant solution &a fantastic tutorial thank you!
Do you have a chart of this pattern?
Are the underarm cast on stitches knitted along with the main body? Thank you!
Yes, you’ll have the back stitches, then the under arm stitches, the front stitches and the other under arm stitches all knitted in the round as the main body.
I prefer this heel with the double stitches on every begin of each row. You never have gaps you have to ,,repair,, like you dit.
Thank you so much for these fantastic instructions using the English style of knitting.
Non capisco come arrivare alla fine del tacco ....forse devo lavorare l'ultima maglia avvolta a sinistra poi completare il giro e iniziare lavorando la maglia avvolta che avevo a destra....???Grazie.
You are an AMAZING teacher. I’ve gone crazy trying to master Judy’s Magic Loop with a Turkish caste-on until I found your video. I hope to knit my first pair of toe-up socks, thanks to you and your talent. Many thanks for sharing your expertise with all of us. My best, Jeanne Stano BRONXVILLE, NY
Thank you Jeanne for your lovely comments and I’m so pleased that this has helped you learn to knit socks. Good luck and keep practicing, it’s a very addictive hobby. Happy knitting. Wendy ❤🎉🧶
Than you so much!
Soooooo beautiful!
Could I use this for a v stitch rectangle blanket please
You are amazing. Every other video was so confusing, but yours is very easy to follow. Thank you
I'm glad I found this technique, thank you for sharing! I will make sure I'd use it on my next sweater ❤
