Oh wow! You are a treasure! I felt like you are my best friend, sitting beside me, explaining carefully what to do! 🥰
Lubię robić skarpetki. Na razie zrobiłam 12 par i uczę sie z duzym zainteresowaniem,poznaję nowe metody robienia pięt i palców. Szukam filmów z lekcjami robienia skarpet,ale w języku rosyjskim i niemieckim, bo wszystko rozumiem to co mówią. Ja robie innym sposobem. Nitkę trzymam w lewej ręce. Nie znam dobrze języka angielskiego i nie rozumiem wszystkich słów. Ale ten filmik jest doskonały. Wszystko bardzo dokładnie pokazane i wytłumaczone. Podoba mi sie tym bardziej, że mogę się nauczyć robić skarpetki i języka angielskiego. Super,super,super.🙂
Dziękuję za taką perfekcyjną lekcję.
Następne skarpetki zrobię z taka piętą, bo jest cudowna. Pozdrawiam i czekam na kolejne ,ciekawe filmy o skarpetkach.
Switching the gusset and heel flap around is genius, I usually wear socks down more under the heel than at the back. Such a simple idea, but never seen it before.
I do that to pad the heel. Planter's fasciitis. I am also experimenting with reverse stockinette for the sole. That's for fibromyalgia. Those darn purl bumps. I'm glad I'm not the only one doing these weird things, lol!
I sat here in the den, in my robe, and while sipping from my hot mug, I watched this video on doing the heel and gusset...better than watching TV! Great idea with padding the heel! Love the extra cush. Why not? There are no hard rules on knitting socks. You are teaching me that socks are meant to be customized to my liking! Yes!
Excellent instructions and the camera is in perfect position to clearly understand all that you are doing. Thank you!
I’ve had your custom sock series in my library for a while and am just now ready to use them. Remarkable! You’re an excellent instructor and you solved a problem I’ve been pondering forever. How to reinforce underneath the heel on a toe up sock. You’re wonderful, thank you!
I am knitting some socks for the whole family and am so grateful for this tutorial ,straight to the point and tips just gorgeous.Thanks a lot🙏🏾🙏🏼👌🏿👌🏼😍🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
See now, this is exactly why I love you. You take a pattern but don’t treat it as sacred. Normal people have differently shaped feet. You have shown us how to make a sock pattern PRACTICAL. Holy smokes I can’t figure out why no one else does this.
I agree… I have normal feet but huge ankles and calves. I love making custom socks!
Thank you for this heel tutorial. I've been trying to figure it out in my head for ages. Finally some has demystified the silly thing. Great job. Your teaching skills are superb!
Socks. On two needles
You are a WONDERFUL teacher! Thank you so much for making this video and for explaining not only the "hows", but also the "whys".
Yes she is Très compétante👍💚
And it doesn't skip past the important stuff either:)
sorry to be off topic but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I somehow forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me!
@Luke Lennon Instablaster =)
@Aryan Ares thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Perfect! I’ve had the exact same thought. I wear out my sock on the bottom more, as well. Thank you for working this out and then being so generous as to share it... 💖
Thank you for all the help you give to us knitters. I’ve been knitting socks for 55 years and the only pattern I use for turning heels is the slip one knit one. It’s a very strong heel. I also only knit top down, four needles because I get so much enjoyment knitting with them. I’ve tried other ways, but no thank you. I’m very happy with my way. Even though I know how to knit almost anything ( not fair isle ) I still enjoy many many tutorials and sometimes I do learn something. ❤️
FINALLY I have struggled with this heel turning for years..... I DID IT !!!!!! Thanks..... I have joined FB and hope that I never ever lose this UA-cam Video. You are a Wonderful Teacher !!!!!
Yay!!
Seriously the easiest and clearest sock tutorial out there. I've tried making socks and I've rarely been successful. I am going to try again thanks to this tutorial
Thank you so, so much! My socks always wear out on the bottom of the heel (and the pad under my big toe) first, so this is awesome! I love toe up on magic loop and needed a way to do the heel that didn't have 'holes' in it from German short rows. Thanks again! :) We can all have bespoke socks now!
Thank you so much. You’re an excellent teacher and you make learning easy. I have knitted toe up for years but have not been happy with the tightness over my instep. Now I can try this and customise my socks. Great video.
Thank you! I am knitting a pair of socks for my dad at the moment and i started thinking 🤔 surely the flap and gusset will still work up side down? Well yes of course!! One thing though, when you were talking about the width around the arches, if you were talking about the TOP of your foot, that’s the instep... my dad has a high instep too so i need to figure this out for him 😂 thanks again for the knit help!!!
This is so awesome! Like you I wear out the bottom of the heel. So far my solution has been to either darn that area to pad it, usually before I wear it, or to add a stronger strand of yarn while I'm knitting that part, but that makes it too bulky. Luckily I'm doing this only on my heavier boot socks that I wear during colder weather.
I also want to add that your tutorial videos are incredibly well done and I share them with the rest of my knitting buddies!
Jana, you are marvelous, you keep it so simple and easy to understand. I love your enthusiasm! I will never forget turning my first heel, I felt so smart. I realize knitters have been turning heels for many generations, probably hundreds, if not thousands, but you are right, it is magical every time. Thanks so much for your videos.
Janna... you are awesome! I'm making socks now with your method of heel flap BUT I have added a strand of Alpaca into the toes and heels for warmth. I bought 2 sets of the twin sock yarn.. and I'm following your lead by doing one pair backwards for my one grand daughter who never wears matching stocks. 😅 You are inspirational. Thanks!
I love making socks from the toe up and so glad I found this class...I have made my heel using German short rows...wrap and turn...but I have never made a heel using the flap until I found your top down class...to be honest I don't like making a top down sock...but this is my new way of making socks...I always thought the flap looked hard so I never tried it...you made it so easy...THANK YOU...
I love when you said..."If you don't understand right now just follow along" and "That's OK" you make it so easy to learn something new...
I LOVE THIS SOCK PATTERN!!!! it is my definite "go-to".. I've only knitted two pairs of socks.. but this pattern is definitely my sock recipe for good!!! I love your channel!!!
You are the best at showing these videos! I took a break on knitting and wanted to refresh my memory on this. I did a search and then saw your video... That was great because I didn't know how to find you again! Yay! Well on my way to finish the heel Flap and heel.
following along to the series while I knit my first pair of socks! Great tutorials, you're incredibly clear and make the craft more easily understood!
Thank you Jana. My first sock and it looks so good already. I’m half way up the gusset heading toward start of leg! Amazed.
You are awesome. Thanks for your down to earth videos. You are so pleasant to listen to and you explain things so well. I’ve watched many , many knitting videos and I wish I had found your channel sooner.
I was at a stage of considering to buy a circular sock knitting machine (VERY EXPRNSIVE!) but this video has converted me to the fun of hand knitting again. Thanks for that.
I understand the pattern so well. You make so much scent.Your explanations are so clear. Thank You and now to put it to work.
This is exactly how I want to knit socks. I agree with reinforcing the bottom of the heel! Thank you for your instruction.
Just found this. Thank you so much for explaining this so clearly. I really needed to find this for my sock knitting. Xx🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Many people have a heavy callous on their heel which is rough. I used to. I don't have that anymore. The socks I've knit since fixing the problem of my heel callouses which incidentally would split down to raw flesh-- talk about painful --but I have been free of that problem now for years. One of the fixes which worked for this was to always wear wool sock as wool has lanolin, (good for our skiing) the other was to correct the cause of the hard callous, which was consuming dairy products.
I stopped consuming all dairy products altogether to see if my severe arthritis in my hands was being caused by dairy which was my guess and I guess based upon how I had dreadful reactions to dairy as a child (severe constipation) -- and fortunately, my guess was right. My hands recovered but my heels did too! I had thought I had gotten over my reaction to dairy which was severe constipation (by eating bran cereal daily). Instead as I got older the effects were different -- I got arthritis of my hand and it put me in a wheelchair with my back like one month up to four times per year. I no longer have to use a wheelchair since I gave up all dairy.
My mother had the terrible heels (but she was a cheese fanatic) which I also developed -- but had no idea that split heels and arthritis were an effect of dairy. When I stopped dairy altogether including cheese (admittedly -- this was the hardest to give up), when my arthritis of my hands reversed itself, my heels healed also completely.
My heels do not build callouses which split and bleed most painfully. This was an effect of the casein protein in milk. Now I use plant-based milk. It isn't that hard as the Soy milk by Silk in vanilla, is what I use and it tastes good to me -- so it was an easy change. If I had chosen a different plant-milk such as almond or oat, my heels and arthritis -- would also have healed.
Before, my heels, would bleed and were painful, no matter how I soaked them and used a pumice stone, they would split. The heels no longer split at all. I don't have to use cream on them either. Sometimes I use hand lotion about maybe once a month. And no splitting. And no arthritic fingers and no wheelchair for my back. Eating pizza is not a good trade off when you have to be in a wheelchair!
My socks do not wear out at all at the heels on the bottom of my heels. For all the Neutragena Norwegian hand cream I used, I buy sock yarn and have like 14 pairs I have made -- but I am out of pain. Isn't it wonderful that Chuck Taylor's by Converse are so fashionable!!!!
Your video is good. And yes, I have a high instep. So the heel flap works better than doing an after thought heel. I do want to learn to knit toe up with heel flap just because it is good to know.
But I will tell you, that I have always used Kroy Sock by Patons yarn, and I am so in love with the results. The walk without the pain of split heels means that I have a smile on my face.
Again, thank you for your detailed video.
Jana, I just love your instructions and videos!! You are amazing...sharing you with all of my knitting friends!! Thank You!🧶
You are the best teacher! I enjoy watching you work and I understand it so very clearly. thank you so much for your patience.
Thank you so much!
Fantastic video! You’ve explained everything so well! You’re a terrific instructor. Thank you for showing us the way!!!
Thankyou so much for such an informative and easy to understand tutorial.
I have never been brave enough to knit socks as that tiny amount of knitting
in the round was totally mind boggling to me. Well I learnt to magic loop, also the
Turkish cast on. And now understand the heel flap part too. Thankyou so much
for helping me out.
I think I know which video you're talking about and I agree, it is a heel flap and gusset toe-up. I worked my eldest son's socks using her video and it worked great!
I was thinking exactly the same-my heels wear on the bottom PLUS I have a high arch ! Thank you !
So grateful for you Jana! You have been given a teaching gift.❤
I agree, I always thought reinforcement should be on ythe bottom as well. Thankyou for making this video.
You have the same idea like I had about the heel flap~! 😁👍 I'v knitted socks for my family with the same method ^^
You are such a good instructor!! and your tutorial videos are great, too! 👍👍
this is giving me the actual enthusiasm of knitting socks. This is an awesome tutorial thank you!
I feel the same way! I didn't think I would ever want to knit a sock. Now I'm thinking of all the possibilities .
Hello! I just wanted to say that you’re an amazing teacher and I thoroughly enjoy your style! I’m an experienced sock knitter, but have never found a heel I like all that much. I love Judy’s Cast-on method, so I needed a decent heel for toe up socks (plus, like most people I’ve found that the bottom of the heel usually blows out quickly, depending upon the quality of the Yarn). So, I decided to give your method a try and I absolutely love it! Your written instructions are spot on, and I found the whole process to be totally pain free and easily accomplished. I have very small feet and was worried about that, but your formula works beautifully and without having to make any adjustments, my first attempt fit like a glove. I really like the padded heel, and I think that the heel just looks better (I never liked that flap going up the back of my heel). So, I now have the absolute best-ever heel mastered, and it is going to be my go-to heel from here on out. Thanks ever so much and please keep the videos and the KAL projects coming. I think you rock!
Thanks so much! I'm glad it's working out for you!
😊👍
Oh my gosh.... This is beyond brilliant. I am at the heel flap and I almost had to call the psych ward. Couldn't figure out with was going on. I'm up at three in the am , driving myself nuts. This pattern is exactly what I wanted. You, my master Jedi deserve knitter of the year. Seriously 💙. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Glad it helped!
I love your heel Idea,I'm new to sock knitting but I am going to use this,thank you
I really like your teaching methods so easy to follow along with you 😀 thank you so much for helping me learn how to knit socks😀 I have completed my very first pair!
wanted to thank you for this series for the socks. I knitted my first two pairs of socks by following these videos step by step. And this heel method is so brilliant. Even though I knit continental style and I converted the stitches to that style the socks came out so well. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
What a thorough and well-explained video! Super helpful :) thank you so much!!
Thanks for this Video, i'm so happy to find it 😍 !!! I really love your special type of heel and heelflap!!! That's how i'll knit my socks from now on 😍 !!! I love to knit toe up socks!!! You're really a great teacher 🥰 !!! You explain everything so well 😍 !!!
Thank you for your amazing work sharing all this info with us ❤ since in refer a lot to this video I would make some time stamps to go quicklynto the different phases of the construction of the heel. Hope this is helpful for someone else too.

Beginning of the heel flap
Wow amazing work , Jana!!! Gorgeous sock patterns
You are a great teacher! You take the scariness away and explain in a way I can understand!! Thanks!
Happy to help!
I am so glad I find your video! I have been struggling for weeks on the heel flap and gusset and you have made it so easy to follow along and get it down step by step. Thank you!,,
Glad it was helpful!
I love love love your version! Higher arch, too yay!! Double Great tips.. many thanks..
Most importantly, the heel bottom is the stronger and more reinforced area, rather than the back / very helpful!
OMG, I appreciate soooo very much your teaching style. You don’t leave anything to chance. Thank you thank you!!
I’m proficient at knitting but just learning ALL the ins & outs of sock making. I think I will like this one!
Thanks so much for your videos. I have to come back for a refresher once and a while.
What a great idea to have the traditional heel flap as the bottom !!! Mind blown 🤯. Thanks !!
You are so welcome!
Thnku sooo veryyy much for this tutorial. I used to be sooo scared of picking up stitches but you have made it so easy ;-)))
Again! Thankyou. I am a FLK gal. I don’t like to pick up stitches. I love the way yours looks and your step by step directions.. bless you..Will try on my next pair💜
I’m in love w the cats. First the twitchy back then the little feet!!
🙏 you saved my toe up sox♥!!!! THANKS from Malmö Sweden 🇸🇪 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
You're so welcome!
Amei! Mesmo sem falar sua língua, pode entender bem pôs o vídeos está ótimo . Parabéns ! 👏👏👏😍🇧🇷
Fantastic tutorial, I would never of managed making socks without your tutorial! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your excellent video and interesting, even amusing, explanations. Thank you for the perfect answer to my question.
This was an excellent tutorial!
I love, love, loved, beautiful work! Thank you.
Searched forever. So glad I found your vid bc you have perfected the job of taping and teaching. Rare.
And too funny how Tabby gets supplanted by Calico in your background.
It depends on which cat is being “helpful” at the time. Thanks for watching!
N sorry for the public shout out to you: However, I just checked out your instagram and Sheesh, can I live your life? I’m a Brooklyn girl who just always wanted a farm, lol. I’m very impressed with how much life you live.
I don’t think I could survive being that close to that many other people!
Yeah, I have helpful dogs. If I had a dime for every leg that gets tangled in my yarn....
I know this video is a bit older but holy smokes! I love to try new techniques and I totally love the heel flap version you are showing us here 😍I am so gonna try this now. 😊 Much love from Germany ✌
Brilliant! this is how I am going to do all my heels! Thank you!
I love your work! I' m giving a try! Thank you very much, regards!!!😙
Very, nice. Like the way you explain in detail. Thanks Laura
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this set of videos! I started some knit sock in July and didn’t like the heels in them, so let them lie for a few months. With these videos, I have one sock ready to knit the leg, and for the second one, I’m picking up gusset stitches and am about to work the decreases for completing the gusset!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Excellent tutorial! I merely adapted my stitch number to allow me to add the heel flap and then the gusset.
BTW, When I look at your hands, I see the knitting. Incidentally, your hands do look a bit rough and SORE! The only comment I would make is to suggest that you use some healing cream that your hands tolerate, to help with their healing.
Your work may preclude the wearing of bandaids, so I will tell you what I do to ease the pain of open sores. I have a mild cortisone skin cream which I place on a lesion or cut and wrap the bandaid (or 2) on the injured spot. In about two or three days, my sores heal quite well. If this helps, use it. If it doesn’t, I imagine you will eventually find something that works. Or not. Your hands, your business!
Blessings, and Happy New Year!!!🤪
Oooohhh...good video! Thank you. I have "heel confusion" going on. There are so many different heel types, & videos to go with them. The whole process hasn't really clicked in my brain yet, even though I've made probably 6 pairs of socks. Get there eventually. Have to stubborn it out. :)
I like your version of padded heel. Creative!
This is wonderful. Ive been knitting toe up socks and falling back on peasant heels. This is so much better.
Watching again to remind myself of the heel construction. Hugs. Hope your animals are doing well.
Delightful Personality/ easy to follow/ multiple great tips for professional outcome.
Love your video I'm on my second pair with this heel. 😊
I love that idea to put the slip stitch section on the sole. Ive thought of that, but havent tried it yet. Thats where i get holes, too! When knitting cuff down, i always make my heel flap 3 inches long. Its very comfortable. Ill have to watch this a few times!
Best toe-up sock tutorial on the Web. Thank you. 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Purl together;
My brain wasn’t computing. Didn’t scroll down far enough to see the pattern to download. Just was trying to follow your video. With all my interruptions with all my dogs barking and jumping all over me I was getting so confused. Thanks again for writing me back.
Holler if you have any other questions!
Purl Together ;
I will indeed. Right now I’m frogging back to fix a couple mistakes. During all my confusions and my dogs I also got my decreases switched on the opposite sides the k2tog and ssk . Ughhhhh.....
This is great, thanks for explaining why the length of the heel flap matters. I keep having trouble with my high arch situation as well!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for demystifying the heel turn!
Just wanted to Thank You, you are an excellent instructor!!!
I appreciate that!
Wonderful tutorial! I wish I could watch it slow motion since I need to do socks and I want to do them toe-up. Your hands are beautiful, the hands of a hard working person, I never noticed them until you mention it. Thank you!!!
You can adjust the video settings to play in slow motion if you’d like. Thanks for watching!
You have beautiful knitted socks , thank you .
It’s beautiful!!!! Hi Jana! It’s Renee Lanier!
Brilliant! I never blow out the back of the heel. Always the bottom. Simple, logical, gotta love it!. TY.
You are so welcome!
Just did a pair of just above the ankle socks in mohair bamboo yarn. It was a little challenging but I am done with a 6 day power knitting session. I take walks 2 to 3 miles a day and took breaks. Just knit when I felt like it and in front of movies at night. The Election has produced the time needed to finish the second one faster then the first. I did the heel reinforcement and every step just ending shorter as I wasn't sure about how much yarn I had on the cone. I will not make many out of mohair as it was a bit hard to keep the stiches in order of number etc...oh my are they soft and warm!
So cool! I love this extra padding. This is where I get holes in my socks as well.
Just viewed this video for heel flap on toe up socks. Love it. Was wondering what pattern the dark purple socks is.
This was sooo helpful! Thank you.
love this watch it over and over
you have a big brain to keep 👣 track!
Thank you!!! Someone who does sock heels like I do!!
Outstanding tutorial!
I love the way you teach. It's easy to understand. However I have a question: how to know how to calculate the stitches for the heel flap. Thanks
I have a class, just exactly for that! Sign up for my email list, and you'll be notified when I offer the next one. During the class we take measurements of your actual foot, so you can knit the sock for a precise fit.

I don’t feel like the boss of my knitting! 😂 I had to set this down but after watching this again, I may be able to finish it. These socks 🧦 will not get the best of me! 😋
You can do it!
Great sock tutorial, thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome 😊
I made my first heel and gusset! Yay!
