![A better way to knit German short rows [and why yours may look all wrong]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/i_F8A5Lyz88/mqdefault.jpg)
triplets, twins and mother's left leg/right leg.... but I understood it all lol thankyou for this great tutorial!!!
Thank you for your excellent teaching I’m 92 years old and learned something new 😊
You are so welcome!
This is the best heel. No counting, no gaps and so neat. I've just used it for the first time. I find it hard to believe I'll use another. Thanks so much🥰
I found the way you hold your yarn interesting. I’m 73 and learned to knit as soon as I could hold the needles. You hold your yarn and handle it like I do which was always a source of amusement to my mom. Apparently one of my aunts used to do it the same way but she was blind by the time I was born so I didn’t learn it from her. I used to use circular needles to knit sweaters. Can’t imagine making socks on one.
When starting the contrast color, I shove the tails down into the center of the sock
This is bar none the best explanation I’ve seen of Shadow Wrap heel! So simply explained ❤
Thank you so much
Your explanation and demonstration is wonderful. Clear and easy to follow. I love how there are no holes or gaps to deal with in the shadow wrap heel that you have demonstrated. Thank you for your video!!
Thankyou so much so clear I gave up on the fish lips could not work it out this looks fab
Thank you so much for this! I have had only limited experience with knitting socks which does not include shadow wrap heels of any kind. Now, I am quite eager to try this, as you have explained and demonstrated it so concisely. I just bought some new self striping yarn that will become socks with heels that will allow those strips to shine, uninterrupted, in all their colorful glory, thanks to you! 🥰
I finally perfected the heel flap and gusset and the shadow wrap is the heel I want to try next. This explanation is amazing. Thank you! I’ve saved it so I can come back and find it for my next pair of socks. THANK YOU!
I discovered this heel through Denise and haven’t used another heel since. I like that you aren’t limited to 56, 64, or 72 stitches and it’s easy. Great closeups and explanations, Jana. 👍🏻👍🏻.
Me too!!
I as well had problems. This is now my go to for this heel! I’m so excited now 🎉🎉😊❤
Me too!! There is also a “modified shadow wrap heel”. I think I will combine the two as an experiment.
I so love when I go looking for a tutorial and I see that you’ve done one for it!! ❤ Like Jana visits every time I need a new skill refresher. Thanks!
I really really like this tutorial. My first one was not perfect, but definitely good enough to use on the sock. I was knitting. After four or five rows in, I had it down pat and was thrilled. It makes a nice heel.!
I have finally found the perfect heel when you want a contrast heel! Thank you so much! Just used this technique for the first time and it came out perfect.
Super nice! Thank you ❤ will knit this heal in my next pair of socks 🎉
Wow! Yet again, another phenomenal tutorial!! You might make me leave gussets in the dust! Thanks!
Throughout my self taught knitting experience of knitting 2 at a time, sew as you go on my flat bed machine, knitting in the round, and now onto my Dean and Bean CSM this is the easiest toe/heal I’ve ever seen for hand knitting. Thanks so much for clear and conscience instruction. I wish I would have seen this years ago.💙
I have just learned to make socks and had to pay attention on the heel which row I was on. In the process of doing a sample heel using this technique and finding it so much easier. Thank you so much for this video.
Hi Jana! So happy I found your channel! I am a beginner knitter and your explanations are helping me so much! Thank you!!!!❤
She's awesome!
I've made seven socks in my whole life (christmas stockings don't need pairs) and for every one using the wrap and turn I've had to try the heel at least three times.... I got this on the first attempt!!! I am never going back thank you so much!!!!!!
Oh goody I want to try it. I love Jana, she can TEACH! Fish lips kiss did not work for me.
Yes it makes sense. Thank you for keeping your work in the frame so we can see it
I have not knit socks yet but this looks fantastic! I am getting my magic loop needles delivered today and cannot wait to cut my teeth with this gusset method. Thank you 😊
Great video! Everything is so clear and easy to follow. I will definitely try it on my next pair of socks.
You are always so clear and concise. Thank you so much.
I have just finished my very first sock heel according to your tutorial. And I am really happy with the result. No stichmarkers and no counting needed, just knitting. Although I was very intimidated to knit the sock heel, I had so much fun at the end. Looking forward to my second sock! Thank you so much for charing this great tutorial with us 👍
Oh my goodness. I love how this looks! Thank you for this video. It's amazingly well done!
I love the way you teach!!!
I just had to pop in to thank you. I found your video a little while ago and enjoyed it. I have finally got in gear and made a pair of socks using the shadow wrap heel. Thank you for the video, it was incredibly helpful. Your instructions and video were clear and easy to follow.
I made these socks to give to a gentleman who owns a woodland and makes the most amazing bowls and things. I asked if he could make me a yarn bowl and he had no idea what they were so I sent him pics of various styles. He made me one and he had such fun doing it he gave it to me for free as it gave him a new line of things to make and sell. It was kind of him to do and as a thank you, he now has a pair of warm woollen socks to work in the woods or the out building. A win/win all the way around I think. So thank you again!
As always, very clear, easy to see and understand. Thank you so much 💓
After years of the simple wrap & turn heel ( I don't even remember where I learned it ) and occasionally having to "go back" and tighten up some holes with an extra thread at the end - I am completely IN LOVE. I work toe-up freestyle 99.7% of the time using a formula I put together years + ago, but this makes a much more secure heel.
Video was easy to watch- clear, precise and instructional! I will be watching more and I subscribed!
You did a wonderful job. I'm saving this one!
I loved this vid. I make socks all the time and I’ve been using German Short Rows for my heels but no matter how careful I am, I usually seem to have a gap on each side of my heels. Then I have to sew up that gap afterward so I will definitely try this new way (after I watch it a couple times more) while I’m knitting. Thank you for making it look easy.
You give me confidence to try new things and they work, thank you
I have been knitting this for some years now and love it, perfectly easy and looking pro.
Great video, very clear instructions! Thanks so much.
WOW. This was so, so clear and exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you so much!
I just knitted this heel! Thank you for an easy to memorize heel! Love it!
Thank you Jana! This is a very clear and easy to follow tutorial.
Best instructor!!
Thank you for this great tutorial! This is easy to understand.
Very nice heel. Interesting technique! Your instructions were very clear. Thanks for sharing with us.😊😊
OMG! That is the best explanation and memory aid I have ever seen for the Shadow Wrap heel.
Wow, thank you!
Wow! I am anxious to try this heel on my next pair of socks. I think I'm going to love this. Thank you!
Thank you Jana - another great tutorial 😊
Fantastic video and description of everything!
Everything was well explained and thank you for sharing your experience!
I’m definitely subbing!
Greetings from Chile!
I love this method. Thank you for this excellent, clear tutorial that is very easy to follow!
Thank you for this information. I'm definitely going to give this a try on my next sock!
I can't wait to try this, thank you so much 💕
This is my favorite method! Quick fast and easy thank you!
Thank you Jana! So well explained.
Absolutely the best tutorial and my favorite heel to make!
One of the best easy explanation. Thanks a lot.
Excellent video. Very clear, it has been super useful! Thank you very much, I've been following you for a few days.
Loved this video. I’m going to use this technique with all my sock knitting.
This is a fabulous tutorial. I love that you have the camera focused up close to your work. It makes it easy to see how you are working the stitches. Thank you for your tutorial.
Perfect timing ! Thank you. I have sock heels to do this afternoon. I am going to try this.
Thank you for sharing this Janna. I tried this and I like doing this style of heel on socks. You made this very easy to follow and very clear instructions. Thank you for sharing.
This was so clear! I think the colors helped to give me the visual I've been missing to feel more confident to make more socks! Thank you for your help!
Thank you so, so much for this tutorial! As always, your directions keep things clear and simple, and I was able to finish my sock without it being a stressful situation. I love how seamless the finished sock looks! You're the best, thank you again!
Wat een mooie stevige hiel. Heel hartelijk dank voor het patroon👍👍
Great tutorial as always!!! I love your shawl!!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, on the heal . This is so nice and it looks so good , easy to do and a great explanation 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Janna. Very clear instructions. I will try on my next socks. Just did FLK Heel on current pair.
Thank you for a WONDERFUL video for a newbie!!!!!!!!!!
Perfect timing. I need to start a Christmas stocking and I use a short row heel. I always need to look up how to do it.
I thought I had tried a shadow wrap heel once but it wasn't this. I will definitely give this a try. Thank you for this.
Wow 🤩 excellent tutorial, thanks. Cheers from Denmark 🇩🇰
Beautiful heel, I must try it!
Oh thank you for doing this video. I appreciate it. Its the best video on this technique of heel and you are the best teacher
You're very welcome!
Thank you! Yours is the first video I truly understand on this type of heel. Mothers and twins and triplets, and thirds and high in steps .... thank you for the confidence to try these again.
You are my hero!!! I love the look of the shadow wrap heel and have watched others do it, but your instructions are the only ones that make sense 🙏🏾🥰❤️
Love your shadow wrap.
I learned a lot.
Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best shadow heel video. ❤️
Thanks so much!
Amazing. Want to try it with my next socks' project! Thank you!
You have a wonderful way of explaining this.....thank you I just learned a new heal technique
That was great! Psyched myself up, watched this video and got my heel done! Quick and clean! Thank you.
I decided to make a friend of mine (who also has large feet like I do) a pair of socks for her birthday. The heel instructions in the pattern made the tiniest heel turn I've ever seen on a sock? The heel was so shallow there was no way either of us would have been able to get our foot into the sock properly. So, after doing the heel 2 different ways I tried for the third time, this method. The third time is definitely the charm!!! The heel is perfect and I'm so pleased with how it looks!
Thank you thank you! This tutorial is the best I looked at when wanting to learn to do 2aat! It’s a game changer for my sock knitting! Much appreciated for this clear concise and easy to follow video! ❤
You are an excellent teacher. TY
Thank you for a very clear video. You’ve taken the fear out of the shadow wrap heel for me.
Thankyou so much for this lesson It made perfect sense to me and I'm now turning heels with a smile on my face. I say "Magic" everytime I do one
What a lovely tutorial...clear and concise and great video shots of what you are doing! Thank you!
Thank you so much!
Excellent video ...I wish I had watched it before I did the wrap method....it looks so much nearer and easier too!! 😊
An excellent tutorial. Very clear to understand. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
It’s a great tutorial, very clear. Thanks Hank you. I will try this heel soon ❤
Awesome method and thank you for a clear and detailed tutorial
P.s. love the colour combinations
I have been using this method most often recently and love how the socks look. You did a great tutorial as always!
I want to go back from
The heel flap to short rows but mine always have holes. Going to try this method. I will do a few practice/baby ones w/ cheap yarn and then try w the good stuff. Love you Jana!!
Can't wait to try this. Off to dig out some sock yarn and do this
Such a great explanation! Thank you.
Wow I am so glad to follow your tutorials on heels I just downloaded your instructions wow I always made wholes on my German short rows but with your technique no more wholes 😊 thank you
Thanks Jana. I learned a lot from your fabulous tutorial.
Thank you so much!
My new favorite heel. I wish I could remember how to do it but I can always rewatch this video.
Excelente explicación, muy pedagógica y fácil de entender, como siempre.
My favorite heel! I always come back to refresh each time as a new knitter. Thanks for posting 🩵
You are so welcome!
Great description, especially for newer knitters. I’m looking for the strongest heel because my son wears them out
Perhaps using heel stitch - where you slip alternate stitches on the knit rows - would make a denser fabric, which would wear better?
Thank you Jana! This is a very clear and easy to follow tutorial. This looks like an interesting method for turning a heel.
Glad it was helpful!
So glad this video showed up in my feed. I've been doing the fish lips kiss heel for quite a while but will definitely try this instead on my next pair!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you ❤ this is the best step by step clear demo of the shadow wrap heel
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for showing this technique. I know many of them but this works perfectly without gaps or holes. 👍
Great tutorial. Excited to try
Love your videos. Clear and precise.
I appreciate that!
