Tutorial #18: How to knit an afterthought heel in socks

This video dempnstrates how to knit an afterthought heel in socks. The waste yarn technique can easily be used in any other place where you need to insert a heel, a thumb (for mittens) or for inserting a pocket in a sweater.

I have seen several of these videos so far and yours is the easiest to remember. I have my own ideas about closing the gap but thank you.

Thank you for this video! I’m doing my first afterthought heel and this tutorial is just what I needed for it to all come clear!

AWESOME.... glad to have found you in Recommendations... I'm new to socks and this was easy to follow and understand.... definite new subbie.....

[@Krityum]

Thanks my dear

[@melmack2003]

You mentioned 'ladders'....I have found that using 5 dpns instead of 4 will distribute the tension better without any laddering.

[@Krityum]

Thanks. Good to know. I will give that a try.

What is your favorite heel to do? I have yet to do my first pair of socks. I am studying sock videos. I want to do toe-up socks with DPN's that is decided but do not know what heel I want to do, I do have the fish lip heel pattern.

[@Krityum]

Hi Denise, I love the adjusted afterthought heel for deeper heel. I also love a gusset heel flap heel.

[@denisepettit8534]

@@Krityum thank you.

[@maryoconnor1396]

Very good video well done

[@lorettaburt908]

U were struggling at times

[@Krityum]

I tend to knit tightly at times. Makes it difficult while recording a video. Have eased up since then.
